I’m very happy – it was a great victory, she said.
Throughout the round I watched the leaders and knew how many shots I fired in response.
Maybe that’s why I tried to be more aggressive, I tried to attack more pins.
She hit three pigeons on the leading nine to reach the two below, but withdrew on the 10 and 11 when Olson, who started a shot behind Shibuno, took the absolute lead with two shots.

She could only compete on the 17th place, until one of the pigeons saw her card on the 72nd place at the closing ceremony and got the second place next to Ko, who dropped four pigeons and a buggy in three on the 68th.
Shibuno led from the second round on Friday, but fought in conditions that knocked four gods from the top 11 holes to a lower level.
On the 17th there was another scarecrow, but she also made two pigeons on her back nine to score three against 74 and to finish with a point.
