Miyazato Ai (宮里 藍), 24 year old Japanese professional golfer won her first LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) Tour at the 2009 Evian Masters (France Evian Masters GC 6,373 yard, par 72), shooting 14-under to tie Sophie Gustafson then beat on the first playoff hole. She became the 6th and the youngest Japanese woman to win the US tour. It's been 1256 days since her debut in the US tour on Feb. 16, 2006. Congratulations!!
She became the first high school professional golfer in October, 2003 in Japan. In Nov. 2004 her prize money reached yen 100,000,000.
Her brothers are also professional golfers. She started playing golf at the age of 4.
In Japan playing golf is very expensive. I miss Florida where I could play golf about $10!
