Christie Kerr will become women's golf's new number one after winning the LPGA Championship by 12 shots at Locust Hill Country Club in New York.
She began the day with an eight-shot lead and victory never looked in doubt as she hit birdies on the 7th, 8th and 10th holes in her final round.
The American, 32, finished on a six-under-par 66, winning the title in a record breaking 19-under-par 269.
South Korea's Kim Song-Hee finished second with a final round 69.
Her compatriot Shin Jiyai and Japan's Ai Miyazato tied for third a further two shots behind.
The result gives Kerr only her second major title of her career after winning the US Open in 2007,
It also propels her ahead of Miyazato in the world rankings, with the Japanese player holding the top spot for just one week.
Kerr had held the lead since the first round, after posting a 68 top the leaderboard, followed by an emphatic 66.
A third-round 69, followed by her final round 66 secured the American's emphatic victory.
