The Briton finished with a 15-under 277, the second-best score since the tournament moved to the 6,483-yard Moon Valley Country Club in 1988.
Davies beat Beth Daniel and Elaine Crosby by four shots to record her sixth victory on the US Tour and take the dollars 105,000 ( pounds 70,000) first prize.
Davies, 30, who missed the cut in Tucson last week, used her driver on the first, third, fourth and eighth holes but for the rest of the time she used a two-iron for better control.
