Chie Arimura had a 2-shot lead on Sun-Ju Ahn with 6 holes left to play in the Suntory Ladies Open after last year's leading money-winner on the JLPGA uncharacteristically bogeyed the 514-yard par 5. Although Sakura Yokomine birdied 6 holes in a row on the back to climb to -9 and Nikki Campbell shot a bogey-free 31 on the back to get to -11, they weren't putting any pressure on Arimura, who stood at -14 on the 13th tee. Ditto for Ji-Hee Lee, who had dropped back to -10 after bogeys on the 10th and 12th. But then Ahn birdied her next 2 holes in a row to catch Arimura while Lee, playing in the group ahead of them, birdied 3 in a row to pull within 1 of them. Arimura, however, played steady golf, parring every hole on the back, even as Ahn matched her with pars on 15, 16, and 17. It all came down to the 416-yard par-4 18th, which Lee failed to birdie, Ahn parred--and Arimura bogeyed, ending her bogey-free streak at 26 holes at exactly the wrong time. With that, Sun-Ju Ahn had her 2nd win of 2011 on the JLPGA.

Ai Miyazato moved up to #65 on the money list, but she'll need to play in many more JLPGA events to get into the top 50 and reach the minimum number of required events. Next up is the Nichirei Ladies. More on it after I take the Full Metal Archivist to the Toronto airport for a 2-week visit to Chiba!
