Overnight leader Cristie Kerr finishes with a 75

South Korean Ji wins US Women's Open ....

and a Taiwanese finishes second

Eun Hee Ji of South Korea made a 20-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole, finishing off an even-par 71 to win the U.S. Women's Open today.
Ji recovered from a double-bogey at the 10th hole and finished at even-par 284, outlasting struggling third-round leader Cristie Kerr.
Kerr never looked in command of the field of her own play. She struggled from the outset and shot a 4-over 75 for a 2-over 286 and a share of third place.
She won the title two years ago.
Candie Kung of Taiwan continued a charge up the leaderboard she started in the third round when she vaulted from 37th to a tie for fifth. She finished before the pairing of Ji and Kerr and appeared headed for a play-off after a 2-under 69 left her at 1-over 285.
But Ji made the putt and Kung settled for second.
