In 2012, despite a lot of movement in the leaderboard during the final round of the Safeway Classic Presented by Coca-Cola, Mika Miyazato managed to hold on to her two-day lead to capture her first career victory on the LPGA Tour. Miyazato finished 13-under par following rounds of 65-68-70 at the par-72 Ghost Creek Course at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club. She captured a 2-stroke win over Brittany Lincicome and Inbee Park to become the third Japanese player to win the event, joining Ai Miyazato (2010) and Ayaka Okamoto (1986).
