Michelle Wie wins U.S. Open
ESPN ^ | 6/22/14

PINEHURST, N.C. -- The road Michelle Wie took to a U.S. Women's Open title was unlike any other, and suddenly insignificant. Whether this was a long time coming was the least of her cares.

The biggest star in women's golf had her name on the biggest trophy.

She never looked happier.

"Oh my God, I can't even think straight," Wie said Sunday after a two-shot victory over Stacy Lewis to claim her first major.

---------snip-------

The final three holes at Pinehurst No. 2 were filled with ups and downs that Wie knows as well as anyone in golf. She responded with a performance worthy of the hype that had been heaped on her since she was a teenager.

With a three-shot lead on the 16th hole, Wie nearly threw it all away with one poor decision, only keeping the lead by making a nervy 5-foot putt for double bogey. And right when it looked as though this would end badly, the 24-year-old from Hawaii responded with the putt of her life that made her a Women's Open champion.

Facing a 25-foot birdie putt on 17 that was fast and dangerous, Wie pumped her fist when it fell, then pounded her fist twice to celebrate the moment.

Re: She's got a bad wheel

Well, the rest of her chassis looks intact enough... for a thorough inspection.

Even granting her a woman's handicap, I'd play a round... or two with her--

I have a rising respect for her, playing with an injury is always tough and a sign of focus.

And I’d bet that the Williams sisters wished they had a pic like that. At least their agent...ask any of the Russian Tennis gals. They all seem to look like models.

Rising...

Are you seriously kidding me?!? She just went up about 1000 notches for me... and (I would bet) for just about every red-blooded American male...

Geez... Enjoy life!

Fellas, fellas, hold the phone. That stunning photo #2 in Bender’s post had me rather suspicious. Michelle Wie is very tall, not very well endowed, rather plain, with no lips. In fact, although that pic identifies her as Wie, it is actually the stunning Jarah Mariano.

You can google Jarah and see that she is no Michelle Wie (or rather the opposite). You can keep respecting her GeronL. ;-)

I didn’t even know she was still playing? Good for her she has had a rough ride given the expectations. BTW, she’s only 6’ tall.

Re: Comment #23 Removed by Moderator

Could someone, like the one that complained to the Mods, explain what happened?
