Michelle Wie was cruising to her first major victory on Sunday when she ran into some trouble on the 16th hole, making a double-bogey 6 that dropped her back to the pack. The former prodigy showed some newfound maturity that has made her a force on the LPGA tour this year however, responding with birdie on 17 to reclaim a two-stroke lead over Stacy Lewis, all but sealing her first major.
Almost as impressive was the eagle she made on the par-5 10th hole. It seperated her from the field and her win would’ve looked like Martin Kaymer’s runaway last week, had it not have given back two shots at 16.
