Ai Miyazato carded a six-under-par 65 to win the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship as Veronica Felibert threw away a four-stroke lead on the final day.

Japan's Miyazato had seven birdies against a single bogey on the 17th to finish 12 under overall and win by one from Spain's Azahara Munoz, who also had a 65.

Felibert of Venezuela could not repeat her sparkling golf of the first two days as she could only manage a one-over 72, a round which included five bogeys.

Scotland's Catriona Matthew finished tied for 10th on six under after a 70 and England's Jodi Ewart was two under following a final-round 68, two ahead of Wales' Becky Morgan.
