That was the first time I met him, Miyazato said. That means a lot to me. That was a great surprise, and it was an honor to meet him in person. It was a great moment, and I'll never forget it.Miyazato, 32, made her farewell more special making the cut, extending her appearance until Sunday. The former world No. 1, a superstar back in her Japanese homeland, isnt sure what the next chapter of her life will hold, but she said she will relish her memories and the people she met along the way.Miyazato joined the American-based LPGA in 06. She won the first of her nine LPGA titles at Evian in 09. While she ascended to world No. 1 a year later, there would be some struggles after. Ultimately, she said rekindling the ambition that drove her to the top of the game was a challenge she no longer relished. Its why she decided to retire. Looking back now, I had a great time, and I'm glad I came to the U.S. and challenged all the things, Miyazato said. I feel so proud of myself. I got through so many things. Of course, I had so much up and downs, too. I have a great team, my agent and my caddie, Mick, they are always there for me and supported me. I couldn't go through all the things just by myself. I think I was so lucky to have my team.
