Michelle Wie wins for the second time

This was a good tournament for Michelle Wie. Everything came together for her, and even though you thought she might find a way to lose it, she did not. Michelle was strong all four days.

Those of us who root for Michelle hope this will become a maturing event. It is hard to believe that Michelle is only 20 years old. She will turn 21 on October 11.  She turned pro as a 16 year-old.

Good for you,  Michelle.
