Miyazato Records 5th LPGA Victory of 2010 With Tourstage golf ball.
PORTLAND, OREGON- Japan’s Ai Miyazato soared back to the top of the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings with her victory this Sunday at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club. Miyazato went wire-to-wire, carding a tournament low 11-under par, besting here nearest competitors by two shots at the 2010 Safeway Classic. The victory was Miyazato’s fifth of the year, setting her personal career best for most LPGA wins in one season.
Miyazato won the event with a Tourstage X-01G+ prototype golf ball, manufactured by Bridgestone and popular in Japan where its Tour-level performance is often compared to the Bridgestone TOUR B330-S, the company’s comparable ball played in the U.S. on the PGA, Champion and Nationwide Tours. Miyazato earned $225,000 for her victory, and expanded her lead on the 2010 LPGA Money List to nearly $15,000 more than the #2 earner.
