She also pocketed $10,637 for her joint 25th effort in Australian Women’s Open last February. While joint leaders Miya Goto and Mao Saigo stumbled with rough starts, Saso, who finished 28th in last year’s JLPGA Qualifying, sizzled with birdies on Nos. As the erstwhile leaders wavered, Wakabayashi mounted her own fightback six flights ahead, firing away birdies after birdies until she lost steam and ran out of holes. But her 64 netted her a joint runner-up finish with Saito, who birdied the last four holes for a 66, at 204. Goto bombed out with a 74 and tumbled to joint 14th at 210.
