Yuko Saitoh held off a Saturday charge by JLPGA legend Yuri Fudoh and then held on in terrible weather conditions on Sunday to preserve an impressive wire-to-wire win at the Vernal Ladies in Fukuoka this weekend for her 2nd career JLPGA victry and 1st since 2004. Almost everyone in the top 20 had a legitimate chance to steal the victory away from Saitoh in the final round, but with the lowest rounds in the field 71s by Miho Koga and Saiki Fujita, nobody could make a big move on her.
