KAPOLEI, Hawaii — Japan’s Ai Miyazato won the LPGA LOTTE Championship on Saturday for her eighth career LPGA Tour title, birdieing three of the last six holes for a 2-under 70 and a four-stroke victory.

Miyazato finished at 12-under 276 at wind-swept Ko Olina. She opened with rounds of 71, 65 and 70 to take a three-stroke lead in the final round.

Meena Lee, ahead early on the back nine and tied for the lead after a birdie on No. 15, had a 70 to tie for second with Azahara Munoz at 8 under. Munoz finished with a 71.

The whirlwind finish still had Miyazato a little flustered.

“I don’t know what happened,” said Miyazato, a 15-time winner on the Japan LPGA. “I just focused on my game. I was pretty nervous toward the end because I know everyone is playing so well. I had to finish really strong.”

The 26-year-old Miyazato made a 20-foot birdie putt from the fringe on the 15th to break a tie with Lee. Lee, down one playing 18, then hit her approach into a bunker and three-putted from 30 feet for double bogey, ending her chances. Lee said she knew she needed to get it close on 18 to put pressure on Miyazato.

“But I was a little bit downwind,” Lee said about the shot that flew over the green and into the bunker. “I tried to go for the pin and then I end up three-putting. I tried.”
