Need to mention this little girl. 7th after 3 rounds. Never heard of her before here and the Thai press isn't saying anything (yet) that I can find. Perhaps if she moves up a few places in round 4 they'll find it in their hearts to give her some kudos.

We have all waited for this for such a very long time. Michelle Wie won her first major championship today, by winning the U.S. Open by two strokes over Stacy Lewis.

Michelle started the day in a tie for first place with Amy Yang. At the start it did not appear that this was going to be Michelle's day as she and her playing partner (Yang), both bogeyed the first hole. At that point in the tournament there were 6 players within 3 strokes of the lead. When So Yeon Ryu birdied 1, 2, and 4, she pulled within 2 strokes of the leaders.

Yang then made double bogey on two, followed by bogeys on 4, 7, 12, and 14, ending any chance she had to win.

Congratulations to her! Way overdue. I hope she keeps it up. Pete

Michelle Wei had the lead through 2 rounds but apparently fell apart somewhat today. 3 days score of 66-66-73. It seems common though for a player coming off a victory not to do too well in the following tournament. No excuses though, Wei still has a lot of work to do to achieve the consistency of Stacy Lewis.

Back in April I wrote who I thought were the biggest surprises & disappointments of the year. The LPGA had only played 7 tournaments at that point. So much has changed since then. The LPGA has now played 16 of its 32 tournaments, and I think it is time to take another look.

After a one week break the LPGA moves to Lancashire, U.K., for the playing of the Ricoh Women's British Open.

This will be the third major championship of five to be played this year.

Defending champion Stacy Lewis will not only be trying to defend her title, but will also be trying to win for the fourth time in her last eight starts.
