Ai Miyazato

Here is a funny story, Ai Miyazato was playing a U.S LPGA event this year as it started to rain. She had the Red Riding Hood cover on her two ball putter and the red started to run, by the end of the round her 2 balls originally white were now pink. Paula Creamer saw this and wanted one saying its the coolest 2 ball she has seen. Since then ComoCome has changed the soft innner area to rain resistant materials, but if your lucky and you bought a Red Rider in early 2005 you too can have pink balls.
Ai Miyazato embarks on her rookie LPGA season after a season in which she won six times in Japan. "In the next five to 10 years, Ai Miyazato will be the new role model for a lot of Japanese girls," LPGA Commissioner Carolyn Bivens says. "She has a smile that lights up the room and a game to match."

Ai Miyazato, now 20, turned professional in 2004 and led the Japanese team to victory at the inaugural event in Fancourt this year with her partner Rui Kitada. Miyazato is currently ranked second on the Japanese LPGA money list, and boasts 14 top 10 finishes on the Japanese LPGA for this season, amongst which six of these were wins at the Vernal Ladies, Chukyo TV Bridgestone Ladies Open, New Caterpillar Mitsubishi Ladies, the Japan Women’s Open Championship, Higuchi Hisako IDC Otsuka Kagu Ladies, and the Daio Seishi Ellair Ladies Open. And Ai Miyazato not only earned her exempt card for the 2006 LPGA Tour, but she ... broke a 20-year-old qualifying tournament record with a 12-shot victory at the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament at Daytona Beach, Florida USA, on Sunday.
Ai Miyazato, a Bridgestone Sports’ Tour Staff, took a place of the youngest queen of the Japan LPGA Championship, Konica Minolta Cup at Nidom Classic Nispa Course, Hokkaido, held between September 7th and 10th. This 13th title of Japanese tour in her career was marked on her first tournament after coming back from the States this season.

"She is this tiny, little, petite thing but she kills the ball for her size," said Cristina Kim, referring to Miyazato's season driving average of 257.9 yards, which ranks 67th. "She has every shot in the bag. Super sweet, cute. She has a huge throng of media coming after her every week. It's outrageous."
