ROGERS, Ark. — Ai Miyazato added another LPGA win to her resume on Sunday with a closing birdie at the NW Arkansas Championship.

The Japanese star shot a 6-under 65 to overcome a five-shot deficit and hold off a crowded leaderboard for her second LPGA Tour victory of the year and ninth overall.

Miyazato’s 5-foot birdie putt on No. 18 sent her to 12 under for the tournament, and her victory at Pinnacle Country Club was secured one group later when fellow Japanese Mika Miyazato missed a 15-foot birdie attempt on No. 18.

“I knew I needed to make lots of birdies today, but I didn’t have any expectation and I didn’t have any pressure in the front nine,” Ai Miyazato said. “So that’s why I think I could focus my game and have four birdies on the front nine.”
