Taiwanese golfer Teresa Lu won the Mizuno Classic on Sunday with birdies on the last two holes and six of the final eight for a two-stroke victory.
The 25-year-old Lu, a regular on the Japan LPGA Tour after giving up her LPGA Tour membership in 2010, carded an eight-under-par 64 final round to finish at 14-under 202 at Kintetsu Kashikojima.
South Korea's Chella Choi, level with Lu with two holes to play, had a 66 to finish second.
Japanese players took the next five spots. Mamiko Higa and Yuki Ichinose shot 70s to tie for third at 10-under, Yumiko Yoshida (68) and Shiho Oyama (71) followed at nine-under and Asako Fujimoto (71) was eight-under.
Stacy Lewis tied for eighth at seven-under. The third-ranked American was the top player in the field.
Karrie Webb was the best of the Australians, finishing tied 41st on 216 and 14 shots behind Lu, after a disappointing final round of 74.
Fellow Australian Lindsey Wright was a further two strokes behind Webb in a tie for 50th.
