Michelle Wie shot 69 in the final round to win by two strokes over Paula Creamer. She made the shot of her career on the eighteenth where her second shot landed into a bunker, 30 yards from the hole. Shelly thumped one out and it landed perfectly, breaking six feet downhill to settle a foot from the hole to insure victory. Congratulations to a talented golfer. Christie Kerr tied for third at ten under after being in contention for the entire weekend. Congratulations Christie on your fine season and this tournament.

My God, can’t these people just get over hype? They hyped this woman for years, and while talented she never put it all together, now after 7 years she gets one victory and they are hyping her all over again.

Poor gal, I wonder if it would have taken 7 years had they not hyped the hell out of this poor girl over that time. If no one knew her name, I wonder if she’d have had a W long before now.

I have nothing against this woman at all, but the hype the media created around her was rediculous, and here after one win they are doing it again. Let the woman play, once she’s proven herself THEN you can hype her all you want.

HA! This will show all those critics who complained when Wie won the Nobel Prize for Golf 7 years ago! See? We knew she had potential!

Isn’t this the gal that finished 84th of 88 players in a men’s tourney? Where’s the greatness in that?

The Michelle Wie era has, at long last, begun.

One win does not an era make...... this is just the way the media justifies all the wasted hype she has been receiving over the past couple years by saying "see, we told you she was great..."

“I feel like I have talent. I know how to play this game. There’s just one last huge hurdle to overcome: I’m a heterosexual. I’ve been trying my best to figure it out and I think what it comes down to is I need to have sex with women instead of men to succeed on the Tour.”

Just kidding. Congratulations to a promising young golfer.

She’s been over hyped but she has incredible talent. If this serves as a confidence boost, watch out.
