SEMMES, Ala., Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Christina Kim shot 5-under 67 on Sunday to come from behind and win the Mitchell Company Tournament of Champions at Semmes, Ala.

She won the event by one stroke at 15-under-par 273. Runner-up Rachel Hetherington (68) came in at 14-under 274.

"This is an amazing feeling and I'm at a loss for words," said Kim, who claimed a winner's check of $138,000. "To know that I am the champion of Champions, it's just amazing."

The victory was the second for Kim, who won last year's Longs Drugs Challenge and earned 2½ points this year for the United States at the Solheim Cup.

Overnight leader Liselotte Neumann (71), who held a two-shot lead at one point on Sunday, finished third at 12-under-par 276.

Juli Inkster (69) was fourth at 11-under-par 277.
