Ji Eun-hee got her first win on the US women's golf tour with a come-from-behind, two-stroke victory over Suzann Pettersen at the Wegmans LPGA on Sunday.

The South Korean shot a 5-under 67 to finish at 16-under 272 at the Locust Hill course in Rochester, New York. A 22-year-old in her second year on the American tour, Ji had a previous best finish of second to Pettersen in South Korea in October in the Kolon Championship.

"I'm like a fly in the sky," Ji said. "I cannot describe what I feel right now. Last year, Suzann beat me and today I beat Suzann, so now I have a confidence. ... If all the tournaments are like today, I could probably win more."

Pettersen shot a 72 and surrendered a three-stroke lead on a sunny, warm day. Ji got in front for the first time with a 7-foot birdie putt on No. 15, where Pettersen missed a 5-footer for par.

The 28-year-old Norwegian has finishes of second, third and ninth this year.

Jang Jeong (69), who won in Rochester in 2006, tied for third at 12-under with fellow South Korean Han Hee-won (69).

Cristie Kerr (69), preparing for her title defense in the US Women's Open, finished fifth at 11-under, two ahead of top-ranked Lorena Ochoa (69), Christina Kim (68), Japan's Ai Miyazato (72) and South Korean Inbee Park (74).
