Nishimura’s Back-Nine 30 Seals Wire-to-Wire Win in Arkansas

Yuna Nishimura arrived at the final round of the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship with a five-shot lead and watched most of it disappear. Then she took the aggressive route over the water at the 14th and put the tournament back in her hands.

Nishimura eagled the par-5 14th and closed with a 5-under 66 Sunday at Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers, Arkansas, completing a wire-to-wire victory for her first LPGA Tour title. The 26-year-old from Japan finished at 21-under 192, five shots clear of Aki Iwai, Chanettee Wannasaen and In Gee Chun.
