Course record gives Miyazato LPGA win

Miyazato had an eagle and eight birdies en route to the single-round record and finished the season-opening event at 21-under 267, winning $195,000. Suzann Pettersen, who had a 5-stroke lead going into the final round, shot 2-under 70 Sunday and finished second at 20-under.

Pettersen had been near perfect through the first three rounds but had her first two bogeys of the tournament Sunday -- on Nos. 9 and 16 -- to give Miyazato an opening.

Miyazato was seven strokes off the lead after a bogey at the second hole Sunday. She got that back with a birdie at No. 3 and then had two pars. She birdied the sixth hole and went to 3-under on the day with an eagle at No. 7. Even a birdie at the ninth hole left her four strokes behind Pettersen.

Birdies at Nos. 10 and 11 gave her three in a row and birdies at Nos. 13 and 15 pulled her into a tie with Pettersen. Miyazato chipped in for a birdie at the closing hole for the outright lead.
