Michelle Wie wins U.S. Women's Open

Battered and wounded yet never broken when carrying on with her life among grown-ups as first a youngster and afterward an adolescent wonder, a resurgent and substance Michelle Wie won the greatest competition of her life on Sunday on the greatest stage in ladies' golf.


At tiring Pinehurst No. 2 in the support of American golf, a prepared Wie survived a twofold flounder 6 on the 70th opening and hung on for a two-stroke triumph over world No. 1 Stacy Lewis to win the 69th U.s. Ladies' Open in the Carolina Sandhills.

Smooth and gathered actually when she almost lost her ball on the sixteenth opening where she needed to take a punishment drop, Wie bobbed again with a birdie on the seventeenth gap from 20 feet and wrapped up her fourth LPGA tour title and first significant title with a standard on the last gap with two putts from 20 feet.

Her remarkable table-top putting stance, which found everybody napping when she began utilizing it a year ago, worked this week as she didn't three-putt once in the whole competition and had 25 one-putts.

"Life is so hopefully humorous," said Wie, who was 15 when she was tied for the lead after 54 openings in the 2005 U.s. Ladies' Open before blurring and almost won three majors when she was 16. "Without your downs, without the hardships, I don't think you like the ups to the extent that you do. I think the way that I battled so much, the way that I sort of experienced a hard time of my life, the way that this trophy is right beside me, it implies such a great amount of more to me than it ever would have when I was 15."

With rounds of 68-68-72 and a last adjust even-standard 70, Wie completed at 2-under-standard 278 for the competition.

Lewis, a two-time real champion, shut with a competition tying low adjust of 66 to complete at even-standard 280. Stephanie Meadow, playing in her first competition as an expert, shot 69 to complete in third.

"Gracious, my God, I can't even think straight," Wie said. "I'm simply extraordinarily euphoric. I'm so regarded to have my name on the trophy."

Wie, furnished all week with Pinehurst No. 2 yardage books given to her by Keegan Bradley and Rickie Fowler last Sunday after they were carried out playing the U.s. Open, started the day tied for the lead with Amy Yang.

Wie got the lead early when Yang lurched and knock her prompt four when she made falcon 3 on the tenth opening when she penetrated a 8-iron to 10 feet.

At that point she needed to hold off Lewis, who began the cycle six shots behind and mounted her rebound far in front of the pioneers with birdies on the second, sixth and afterward three consecutively beginning at the eighth. At that point she pulled inside a shot of the lead with a birdie on the thirteenth opening from 10 feet.

Anyhow a crash into the local, sandy zone prompted a flounder on the fourteenth.

An alternate flounder on the sixteenth, where she missed the green, dropped her five back and apparently destined her opportunities to add a third major to her continue. Yet Lewis skiped over with a birdie on the seventeenth and included an alternate the eighteenth – her seventh and eighth of the day – to complete with a 66 and at even-standard 280 for the competition. Lewis wasn't astonished Wie held her off.

"Simply knowing Michelle and the way she crushes and holds tight, I wasn't astounded whatsoever," Lewis said. "I've seen the work she puts in. We work out together when we're home. Furthermore she's out there granulating endlessly much the same as whatever is left of us. To see her accomplish it, and the way she did it today, returning after that twofold, I'm so hopefully blissful for her.

" …  I believe that scene on 18, being on system TV, the same number of individuals as we had around there at Pinehurst No. 2 and Michelle Wie winning the golf competition, I don't think you can script it any better. I think its extraordinary for the session of golf. I think its stunningly better for ladies' golf. I'm so cheerful for Michelle Wie.

"This has been such quite a while desiring her."

The statuesque Wie, who completed runner-up to Lexi Thompson in the year's first major at the Kraft Nabisco Championship, is only 24 yet has existed in people in general eye 50% of those years, regularly clasping under tremendous desire and serious, stinging feedback.

While she won her first LPGA tour title in 2009 and included an alternate the following season, she didn't satisfy the status as the Tiger Woods of her era, which numerous thought she would be.

On the eve of the last adjust, long after she finished play, Wie confessed to committing a lot of errors on her excursion to adulthood. In any case her street to recovery took her to Stanford University, where she said she ended up while acquiring a degree in interchanges. After accepting her recognition in 2012, she took a gander at the following phase of her life as her second profession.

"In the event that I hadn't committed errors, in the event that I hadn't done what I did," said Wie, who is relied upon to hop from eleventh to seventh in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings. "I wouldn't be the individual I am at this moment."

In the wake of leaving Stanford, Wie battled and breaking standard was a task for her throughout a hopeless season. This season, then again, she's been a model of consistency, winning twice and posting nine main 10s in 13 begins.

"She's grinning again on the fairway on the grounds that she cherishes the amusement. She's recovered a jump in her step," said David Leadbetter, Wie's mentor. "She enjoys where she's at on and off the fairway. She works so hard. Through all that, she kept on buckling down."

Through everything, Wie never questioned her capacity to win again and win the greatest competitions in ladies' golf.

By her side this week, much the same as whatever viable week on the LPGA tour, were her guardians, B.j. furthermore Bo, who were at the heart of a great part of the feedback leveled at Wie through the years, particularly when she played against the men on the PGA Tour eight times without making the cut. Anyhow Wie is thankful they've generally been there.

"When I sort of had my downs, when individuals questioned me, when I even questioned myself, my guardians would never let me question myself. In the event that I even indicated an ounce of uncertainty, they simply had faith in me so hard that I began to trust in myself once more," Wie said. "I owe them everything."

A winning Wie could take the LPGA tour to new statures. In a dream season where 10 players have consolidated for each of the 15 wins – with each of the players positioned in the main 16 on the planet – the tour has seen expanded TV evaluations, participation and consideration. Presently it may see a greater amount of every one of the three.

"It will mean a ton of things for ladies' golf," Thompson said. "I think it will develop ladies' golf a great deal. Michelle is playing so extraordinary at this time. It was simply a matter of time before she got her first major."
