Her performance in Eugene was an improvement of two centimetres on her previous personal best and a goal she had been working to for some time.
She upstaged the crowd favourite, Ukraine's Yaraslava Mahuchikh who took the silver medal.
Patterson and Mahuchikh were the only athletes to clear 2.02m.
The Australian achieved it with her first jump, while the Ukrainian needed two attempts.
Paterson will compete at the Commonwealth Games at the end of this month.
