Michelle Wie golf sensation
Thursday, May 20, 2010
Michelle Wie is said to reach a segment of golf fans which Tiger is not able to reach - aspiring young boys and girls. Wie is already seen as a veteran on the world stage even though her trophy cabinet is not reflecting that.
Turning professional at 16, Wie became the world's highest paid female golfer in history. The American also became the youngest-ever golfer to win the US Women's Amateur Public Links Championship at just 13.
Wie's massive drives had earmarked her for stardom but she did not win her first professional individual tournament till November 15, 2009.
She cliched the Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Guadalajara, Mexico after a two-stroke win over Paula Creamer. This win capped a fine year for Wie as she was part of the United States team that retained the Solheim Cup in August.
2010 could be the breakout year for the 20-year-old
