Miyazato sets sights on U.S. Open

Colorado Springs, Colorado — Ai Miyazato says she is in good form and ready to bounce back from a disappointing showing at the LPGA Championship when the Women's U.S. Open gets under way on Thursday.

Miyazato missed the cut at the LPGA Championship and has not put herself in contention in eight starts this year, despite a superb 2010 season in which she reached the world No. 1 spot for the first time in her career.

"This is a different situation this week. I am in good shape," Miyazato said after the first 18 practice holes on the tricky par-71 Broadmoor East Course in Colorado Springs.

"The greens here are very difficult," said the 26-year-old from Okinawa, who is seeking her first major title.

Miyazato plays the first two rounds of the U.S. Women's Open alongside Karrie Webb and Cristie Kerr.
