PORTLAND, Oregon (AFP) — Japan's Ai Miyazato posted her fifth win of the year and reclaimed the world number one ranking by capturing the LPGA Safeway Classic on Sunday.

Miyazato shot an even-par 72 to finish at 11-under 205, two strokes in front of American Cristie Kerr and South Korean Choi Na-yeon. Kerr was ranked number one heading into the Portland tournament.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Rosales carded two-over par in the final round to finish two-over 218, tying five other players for 34th to 38th places. The Filipino golfer fired one-over par 73 in the opening round, then improved a bit with a one-under par 71 in the second round.

Miyazato, who led all three rounds, is among five players who have been battling for the No. 1 ranking, including Kerr, Shin Ji-yai, Suzann Pettersen and Tseng Yani.
