FRANKLIN, Tenn., May 7 (UPI) -- Cristie Kerr fired a five-under 67 Sunday to erase a four-shot deficit and win the American Mortgage Championship at Franklin, Tenn.

Kerr finished at 19-under-par 269, winning her seventh LPGA title by two shots over Angela Stanford (73), Lorena Ochoa (66) and Pat Hurst (68).

"I just had a feeling this whole week it was going to be my week," said Kerr, who earned $165,000 for the win. "I just knew that I just had to hang in there and just keep going and applying pressure. That's what happened."

Stanford squandered a four-shot lead in the final round.

Ji Yeon Lee shot 3-under 69 in the final round to finish in fifth place at 16-under- 272.
