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.

Well I have lost any respect I might have had for her.

Why? Because you were not astute enough to note that the lingerie shot is not Michelle Wie in the first place, that you were taken in by Bender’s silliness?

Well! She certainly looks good outside of her usual golf wear.

Is that really Michelle Wie? I watched her for about 2 hours on Sunday while she was golfing, and she did not appear to be as well-endowed at the pin-up girl.

I think that is not Michelle.

That’s right, Bender, it’s not your fault that you cannot tell one Asian lady from another. It’s the website’s fault.

From the SI.com logo in the pic it originated from Sports illustrated.

http://radaronline.com/photos/michelle-wie-bikini-photos/photo/214146/

Looking at these pics of her in bikini, her girls do look smaller than in that pinup. I can’t find the original by searching for her name, someone at the Kia forum saved the pic to his server and put Wie’s name in the url.

But there is also the name Jarah in the url.

Boom. Model Jarah Mariano, it’s actually her. Good call.

She’s hot.

Wie is ok too.

Gadzooks! You just keep on running this into the ground like Hillary Rodham Clinton put it in her book just before the Benghazi Video... while others on this thread just enjoy the photo no matter who the hell the pretty Asian gal is--

And, no, I don't run DNA on ever photo... that says it is Michelle Wie in the URL on Google--

I may not know every Asia gal on sight... but I know when one is very attractive and can appreciate it.

The real Wie celebrated by twerking, so it could happen

And here's the same shot of Jarah Mariano that got hijacked and labeled as Michelle Wie ...

It's in the same photo gallery that FMdj posted at #30. I missed it the first time I looked through that massive gallery. I think twerking is what we used to call dirty dancing many moons ago.
