WILLIAMSBURG, Va., May 10 (UPI) -- Christie Kerr shot a 1-under 70 Sunday to win the Michelob Ultra Open for the second time in her career.

Kerr, who won the event in 2005, finished at 16-under-par 268, for a two-stroke victory over In-Kyung Kim, who shot an even for the day.

Kerr broke an early four-way tie for the lead when she tapped in a two-foot birdie putt at No. 4 to move in front by herself at 16-under.

The win was Kerr's first of the season but put her atop the LPGA money list.

"It means the world," Kerr said. "I'm just tickled."
