( CNN ) -- For the South Korean who picked up the second major title of her career to move up to second in the world rankings , it was a walk in the Park . Inbee Park led the field by three strokes heading into the final day of the Kraft Nabisco Championship , carding a three-under-par final round of 69 to finish 15-under for the tournament - four strokes ahead of compatriot Ryu So-Yeon . After taking the traditional plunge into Poppy 's pool at the Mission Hills Country Club , Park is setting her sights on usurping Stacy Lewis and becoming the world 's top-ranked female golfer . `` That 's the place that I 've always wanted and I only have one more spot to go , '' the 24-year-old told the LPGA Tour 's official website after clinching 2013 's opening major . `` That brings a lot of momentum , keeps momentum going for me , especially after this week . I felt a lot of confidence with my swing and with my putting . Everything has been going the right way this season . It feels good . '' American Lewis was full of praise for Park , hailing the 2008 U.S. Women 's Open winner as `` the best putter on Tour . '' `` I 've seen Inbee do this before , '' said Lewis , who finished 14 shots adrift of Park . `` When she rolls it , you just ca n't beat her . `` The course here is a little softer than normal , so I think that 's to her advantage . She does n't hit it as high as some other people , but when she 's rolling it , you are not going to beat her . '' The 2011 U.S. Women 's Open winner and Park 's compatriot Ryu So-Yeon ( 65 ) was second on the leaderboard on 11 under , ahead of Sweden 's Caroline Hedwall ( 68 ) and 2007 LPGA Championship winner Suzann Pettersen ( 69 ) . Haeji Kang ( 68 ) , also of South Korea , and seven-time champion Karrie Webb ( 72 ) were tied for fifth . Fifteen-year-old New Zealander Lydia Ko was the highest-placed amateur , finishing tied for 25th . Former world No . 1 Yani Tseng finished two over for the tournament , in a four-way tie for 48th place .
Inbee Park rose to No . 1 in the world rankings with win at the BMW Championship . The win at Mission Hills CC the second major triumph of Park 's career . World No . 1 Stacy Lewis finished two strokes behind Park . Park 's fellow South Korean Ryu So - Yeon was second on the leaderboard .
