Miki, Japan (SportsNetwork.com) – Ai Suzuki fired a final-round 71 on Sunday to claim a 1-shot victory at the Konica Minolta Cup.<\/p>\n
Suzuki rebounded from a tough day on Saturday and she finished the week at 5- under-par 283. At 20 years old, Suzuki is the youngest champion in tournament history.<\/p>\n
Back-to-back birdies on one and two got Suzuki rolling early. After two straight pars, Suzuki tripped to her first bogey of the day on the fifth hole.<\/p>\n
She responded quickly, however, by pouring in two more birdies on six and seven. Suzuki rounded out her front nine with a par on the eighth and a bogey at the ninth as she made the turn at 2-under.<\/p>\n
It was a quieter back nine for Suzuki as she started with six straight pars before making her third bogey on No. 16. A birdie on the par-4 17th proved to be huge as Suzuki tripped to a bogey at the last to end with a 1-shot victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
