    Ai Miyazato was in uncharacteristic territory to start the final round of the LPGA Safeway Classic.

    She was nervous.

    While Miyazato normally appears composed, the jitters were evident when the Japanese star bogeyed the par-4 second hole on the Ghost Creek Course at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club. Then she bogeyed the par-4 seventh.

    It wasn't until a birdie on the par-5 ninth hole that she steadied herself -- and cruised to her fifth victory of the year. Miyazato, who also led after the first two rounds, closed with an even-par 72 to finish at 11 under.
