CELEBRATING HER FIRST MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP

 

[dropcap size=small]M[/dropcap]ichelle Wie finally powered her way to a victory at the 63rd U.S. Women’s Open, capturing her first major championship at Pinehurst Resort and Country Club. The beautiful 24-year-old notched her second LPGA Tour win of the year – and fourth of her career — with a final score of 2-under-par 278. Michelle celebrated her major milestone on the 18th green with her fellow LPGA athletes, who doused her in champagne. “I had a lot of fun today, I woke up so excited. I am just so grateful for the opportunity,” said Wie. “I got a lot of goose bumps walking up to 18. I can’t believe this is happening.”

Wie, a Nike Golf Athlete from the beginning of her professional career, eagled the tenth and birdied the 17th to give her a two-stroke cushion, ranks second in greens in regulation – 79 percent — on the LPGA Tour with her Nike VR Pro Combo and VR Pro Blade irons. She is fourth in putts per greens in regulation, playing with an adjusted Method 006 putter featuring Polymetal Groove technology, which helps to reduce skid and produce a truer roll.
