It was a special victory for Kim because Orlando is her adopted hometown.

"I'm still nervous and it's exciting," said Kim, who claimed $375,000. "I came here eight years ago and I have a home here. I have a new family and new friends here. They followed me and cheered."

Webb (67) and Ochoa (66), ended at 10-under 278. Hee-Won Han (66) tied for fifth place at 4-under 284 with Michele Redman (67), Ai Miyazato (76) and Christina Kim (74).

Janice Moodie (67), Se Ri Pak (69) and Heather Young (70) shared ninth at 3-under 285.
