Mika Miyazato Donates Paycheck to Red Cross Relief Effort

Consistent performer: Second-round leader Mika Miyazato wasn't able to make a final-round charge, but she did record her third straight top-10 finish in a major championship this year. Miyazato shot a 72 in her final round to finish at 1-over-par for the tournament and finish alone in fifth place. The Japan native will donate her entire $121,591 paycheck to the Red Cross relief effort for the victims of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in northern Japan.

Miyazato is the only player to record a top-10 finish in all three of the LPGA majors so far this season. She finished in a T8 at the Wegmans LPGA Championship two weeks ago and a T7 at the Kraft Nabisco Championship back in early April. The other three players to post top-10s in both majors so far this year are Yani Tseng (1st LPGA Championship, 2nd Kraft Nabisco), Stacy Lewis (T6 LPGA Championship, 1st Kraft Nabisco) and Morgan Pressel (2nd LPGA Championship, T3 Kraft Nabisco).
