MORELIA, Mexico (AP) - Ai Miyazato of Japan won her third tournament of the LPGA season, shooting a 6-under 67 to win the Tres Marias Championship by one stroke Sunday in the final tournament for top-ranked Lorena Ochoa.
Miyazato was 19-under 273 to finish a shot ahead of Stacy Lewis (66) of United States and two in front of Michelle Wie (68), but the win was overshadowed by Ochoa's last round before stepping into retirement to raise a family and focus on her charity foundation. Ochoa, the tournament winner three of the last four years, shot a 71 to finish sixth at 12 under. During the trophy ceremony on the 18th green, Miyazato broke down crying as she thanked Ochoa. Ochoa, a few feet away, also rubbed tears from her eyes in bright sunlight on the mountainside course. Ochoa choose Miyazato as her playing partner for the first two rounds.
