Sun-Ju Ahn cruised to her 2nd JLPGA victory in a row today at the Fujitsu Ladies and the 4th of her rookie season. Her margin of victory was 7 shots over former KLPGA rival Ji-Yai Shin, but it could have been much larger. Ahn was -4 through her 1st 11 holes but played her last holes in +2, while Shin birdied her last 3 holes in a row to pass Chie Arimura and Yukari Baba. Meanwhile, the round of the day belonged to veteran Yuko Shinsakaue, who fired an Ahn-like 64, who birdied 8 of her last 12 holes.
