Playing on the Brickyard Crossing course on the grounds of the famous motor speedway, Hur all but lapped the competition, leading wire-to-wire.
She was never headed after starting the final round with a two-shot lead, closing the deal emphatically with a bogey-free four-under-par 68, while Dane Nanna Koerstz Madsen shot 67 to claim second place.
Hur finished on 21-under 267, continuing the dominance of South Koreans on the LPGA Tour this year.
Korean players have captured 13 of 26 tournaments this year, headed by world No.1 Ko Jin-young, who has won four times.
Hur, Park Sung-hyun and Kim Sei-young have won twice each, while Lee Jeong-eun, Amy Yang and Ji Eun-hi have single victories.
"I'm just trying to enjoy my golf for a whole year," said Hur in a greenside interview as she rubbed champagne from her eyes after being doused by her peers.
"Wire-to-wire, I really wanted to do it and I did it, so I'm happy."
Hur, 29, also won the Ladies Scottish Open last month.
