Aloha: Michelle Wie Wins For First Time In Four Years

/

While it's her third career win and third top 10 of 2014, this Michelle Wie win in the Lotte Championship comes after changing her putting stroke to something unconventional and landing an undergraduate degree at Stanford. Way to hang in there.

From an unbylined AP story:

''I'm just having fun out there,'' said Wie, who grew up in Honolulu. ''I was out there and nervous. Every time I felt nervous out there, I was looking around, I felt there was no place I'd rather be.''

Stanford had her worst round of the tournament, shooting a 1-over 73 that put her at 12-under 276 and two shots behind Wie. Top-ranked Inbee Park finished third with an 11-under 277.

''Today, just didn't make the putts that I've been making,'' Stanford said. ''I wasn't hitting it great today. Just mis-clubbed a couple of times. Just didn't make good decisions.''
