BETHLEHEM, Pa., July 12 (UPI) -- Eun Hee Ji sank a 25-foot birdie putt on the final hole Sunday and won the U.S. Women's Open, her first major championship.
Ji shot an even-par 71 for an even-par 284, a stroke ahead of Candie Kung, who closed with a 69.
Christie Kerr, the third-round leader who won the Open in 2007, slipped to a 74 and tied for third place with In-Kyung Kim (70) at 2-over 286.
"I was very nervous before the last putt and quite frankly, I am still very nervous," Ji said through a translator after the victory in Bethlehem, Pa.
"Dream come true; that's what this means," Ji said.
The South Korean golfer won $585,000 in her second victory on the LPGA Tour.
