Ueda later fell back into a tie for first with Lu after bogeying the 15th hole, but she birdied two of the last three holes while Lu could only manage pars to win the ￥70 million (US$629,129) tournament.
Ueda shot a 7-under 65 in the final round to Lu’s 6-under 66 to secure the two-shot victory.

After her second-place finish yesterday, Lu ranks seventh on the Japan LPGA money list with winnings of ￥33.8 million so far this year.
