[I]n facing the game's top player, Lorena Ochoa, and the youth of Morgan Pressel and Angela Park, the 29-year-old Kerr wielded a calm nerve and a store-bought putter in claiming the U.S. Women's Open title Sunday. It was her first major title, in 42 career attempts.

Kerr completed her round with a 67 that day in Nashville, Tenn., while Stanford stumbled to a 73. But the 27-year-old Kerr wasn't taking anything for granted after signing her scorecard on Sunday.

A major championship was the next logical step for Kerr, who had nine top-10s in 42 previous majors, with her best finish a tie for second at last year's Women's British Open. Still, after shooting a third-round 66, which she completed Sunday morning, it was the first time she held the 54-hole lead in a major since the 1999 LPGA.
