Tokyo Olympics silver medallist Mone Inami got her game together at just the right time to win the LPGA Japan Classic on Sunday, as overnight co-leader Nasa Hataoka imploded.
Inami, who beat New Zealand’s Lydia Ko in a playoff to finish second behind American Nelly Korda at the Tokyo Games two years ago, said she had been “struggling” heading into the LPGA event co-sanctioned by Japan’s JLPGA Tour.
