Sunday’s U.S. Women’s Open victory marks the second win in a USGA championship for Michelle Wie. She won the 2003 U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links when she was just 13 years old.
She Started playing Golf at the very tender age of four, and at the age of ten, she became the youngest player ever to qualify for the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links Championship.
Michelle Wie first attempted to win the U.S. Women’s Open in 2003 at the very young age of 13, but she tied for 39th that year.
In 2004 Wie was awarded the “Laureus World Newcomer of the Year award” and she continued to progress thru the ranks, But Subsequent attempts at winning a major all fell short until this year at the 69th U.S. Women’s Open at Pinehurst Resort and Country Club.
The 6ft 1 American Golfer however has her parents to thank for believing in her ever in her own moments of “self doubt”. And Wie has definitely repaid that trust by claiming the prestigious U.S. Women’s Open title.
The 2014 U.S. Women’s Open champion was closely followed by close friend and fellow American, Stacy Lewis, Northern Ireland’s Stephanie Meadow and South Korea’s Amy Yang.
