Suzuki wins Japan Classic

Overnight leader Ai Suzuki shot a bogey-free 5-under 67 yesterday to win the Japan Classic by three strokes for her first LPGA career victory. Suzuki carded her fifth birdie of the day on the par-5 18th hole at the Seta Golf Course in Shiga to finish with a 17-under 199, three shots ahead of South Korea’s Kim Hyo-joo (66). Suzuki is the second straight Japanese winner of the Japan Classic following Nasa Hataoka. With the win, Suzuki, a regular on the JLPGA, becomes eligible for LPGA Tour membership. Australia’s Minjee Lee finished in third place at 11-under 205 after shooting a 68 in the final event of the LPGA Tour’s Asia Swing. Jennifer Kupcho of the United States was tied for fourth with Jin Yang of China after a 68 left her seven strokes back.
