Top-ranked Serena Williams brushed aside Caroline Wozniacki 6-3 6-3 to join Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova on 18 grand slam titles.
Victory gave the 32-year-old Williams her third consecutive women's title at Flushing Meadows.
Williams did not drop a set all tournament and hit 29 winners to Wozniacki's four - all but one of which were aces.
The Dane had hoped she would be more ready for the occasion five years after her first slam final here, when she lost to Kim Clijsters, but she was comprehensively second best.
Williams also matched Evert's total of six championships at the event in New York and became the first woman to win three in a row since Evert's four-title run from 1975-78.
