Eun-Hee Ji captured her first career LPGA title on Sunday, posting a five-under 67 to beat Suzann Pettersen by two strokes in the $2-million Wegmans LPGA.

South Korea's Ji posted seven birdies against two bogeys for her four-round total of 16-under 272.

Norway's Pettersen, who came into the final round with a three-shot lead over Ji and two others, had three bogeys in the final six holes en route to an even-par 72 for 274.

Ji, meanwhile, had four birdies on the back nine and nearly sank a long birdie putt at the last before settling for par.

Trailing by three at 13, she drained a 30-foot birdie putt as Pettersen took bogey.

"It was a right to left downhill, it was a long putt," Ji said of 13. "I was aiming to put the ball near the hole, not into the hole. But the ball followed the line that I saw and went into the cup."

Pettersen, ranked number three in the world, was still one shot ahead with four holes to play, but the short 15th proved another turning point as Ji again made a birdie and Pettersen missed the green.

Knowing she had taken the lead, 22-year-old Ji admitted she was "starting to feel nervous," but she matched Pettersen's birdie at 17 and held on for the victory which she called "a dream come true."

South Korea's Hee-Won Han (69) and Jeong Jang (68) shared third on 276.

Pettersen, winner of the Swiss Open last month, was also positive despite settling for second, saying her performance was encouraging heading into the third major of the season, the US Women's Open that starts at Interlachen Country Club in Minnesota on Thursday.

"I was working on a few swing things last week and didn't really expect too much this week," said Pettersen, who was second in the first major of the season, the Kraft Nabisco Championship.

"It's good to have come out and played well before the US Open."

World number one and defending champion Lorena Ochoa never really looked like notching her seventh victory of the season.

The Mexican star did post four birdies in the final seven holes en route to a 69 that gave her a share of seventh place.

She has finished outside the top-10 just once in 11 starts this year.

Teenager Michelle Wie, who tied for sixth in last month's German Open on the Ladies' European Tour, had her best round of the tournament with a 69 that saw her finished tied for 24th.

The 18-year-old from Hawaii has qualified for a sixth straight US Women's Open and warmed up for it with her best result on the LPGA tour since she injured her wrist early last season.
