Beni-Kore: Mizuno’s latest image character is Beni Arashiro
Published by September 5th, 2006 in Sports. 0 CommentsYes, I love baseball. It’s the only sport I follow religiously but there are times when I’ll take a quick peek at other sports like tennis and golf. So I’ve already heard quite a bit about Okinawa’s (and Japan’s) sensational female golfer MIYAZATO Ai (20) but to read about her in a feature from one of our local newspapers was a definite treat. Here’s an excerpt from the Honolulu Advertiser story:
“Ai Miyazato is one of the most charismatic young women,” said Carolyn Bivens, starting her first full year as LPGA commissioner. “She has a smile that absolutely lights up a room. The caliber of golf she plays … she says she’s 5-feet tall and I doubt that, I think she stretches it a little. Yet when she hits the ball it’s unbelievable, and at the same time she is very good interacting with the fans. I think she loves what she’s doing. I think she’s going to be electric.”
Here’s a link to her official website and she’s currently blogging while in Hawaii where she’s competing at the SBS Open.
