Korea's Ji Eun-hee won her first career LPGA title at the Wegmans LPGA in upstate New York on Sunday.

Coming from three strokes behind Suzann Pettersen, who is ranked third in the world, Ji turned the tide at the 13th hole with a 30-foot birdie putt to end the tournament with a two-stroke victory over the Norwegian, finishing 16 under par.

The 22-year-old Ji lost to Pettersen last fall at the Kolon Championship in Korea.

Korea's Jang Jeong and Han Hee-won tied for third place while Korean-American teenager Michelle Wie finished 24th.
