재미 교포 Michelle Wie(28,위성미)는 LPGA HSBC 월드 챔피온십에서
36ft 짜리 long birdie putt을 성공시켜 극적 우승을 일구어냈다.

이우승은 그녀의 LPGA 5승(1 major,US Open)이고 3년 6개월만의 값진
우승이다. Michelle Wie는 우리가 다 알다싶히 12살에 천재 골프 소녀로
등장 골프계를 Tiger Woods나 Nancy Lopez이후로 처음 흥분 시켰다.

그이후의 일들은 우리다 아는 일들이라서 여기서 부연할 필요가 없지만 어려운
명문 Stanford University를 LPGA와 병행해서 졸업,수없는 부상을
디디고 오늘에 이른 미셀 위가 자랑 스럽다. 수없이 바꾸어 시도해본 그녀의
putting만 보아도 그녀의 노력을 알수있다.

PGA가 Tiger Woods가 필요 하듯 LPGA는 Michelle Wie의 성공이
흥행면에서 꼭 필요하다. 그런 면에서 이번 우승은 그만큼 값진것이다.

이날 경기는 수없는 선수들이 선전에 선전을해 무척 흥미로웠는데 미쉘위가
이긴 경기이지 다른 선수들이 패한 경기가 아니라고 생각한다.

값진 승리를 일구어낸 Michelle Wie에 큰 박수를 보낸다.  규정

황박사와 함께 Michelle의 승리를 축하합니다. She needed it !!

Myself being a Korean American, I would rather have another "Korean" American's win

to a win by another "Korean" Korean.

In Michelle's picture above, I suddenly see her face as being a much more mature woman,

rather than the baby face of a young girl. I guess it's about time for her to be.

By the way, it is "just one win" and "only one win" for now.

Tomorrow is another matter.

앞으로 또 이기리라는 보장은 없는것이지요.

아무리 훌륭한 Talent, 노력, 훌륭한 coaching이 있어도 Championship은 약속할수 없는것이지요.

Golf에서의 승리가 얼마나 어려운 것인가를 보여주지요. 반듯이 실력이 아닌것 같지요.

In other words, to me, it looks like just a luck that brings the winning.

그날의 일진이 좋았던거지요.

Of course, some says, "Practice brings the luck."

I had many wins in my small world of golf.

And, to be honest, they were all like that. It wasn't the practice. I was lucky!

It's about the time for Michelle to win.

Good to see her in bright mood, smiling.

One more time to see her winning putt

Thanks for your comments! WM!and Dr.Bang!

Here are few my 3 cents-worth observations through Michelle's win.

1.Michelle Wie wants this win badly as well as LPGA.

2.Michelle Wie does have charisma and probably most
  popular player in LPGA just like Tiger Woods in PGA.

3.I am glad Michelle won this tournament with regular
  putting stance!(You know what I mean!).

4.Michelle has had many pressures not to be able to win
  since she graduated from college and have concentrated
  golfing only. Monkey off from her back with this win
  would help her for future games by sure.

5.I agree with you that each win would need luck from golf
  God,although more practices bring you better lucks,they said.

6.I was so happy to be rooting for all those 태극낭자들 regardless
  of their nationalities during this tournament like Michelle Wie,
  Jenny Shin,고진영,Minjee Lee,Danielle Kang,and Lydia Ko etc. KJ

                                Tigress of LPGA!


 

Michelle Wie won.

Phil Michaelson won.

Exciting wins after long pauses for the two veterans.

Now Tiger Woods may win soon. Who knows?

"Old soldiers never die; they just fade away." ? perhaps with occasional sparkles.

I am glad she overcame putting woo’s. Missing short putts affects the entire

    golf game. No doubt, she had an excellent long game, but she had not been

    able to capitalize it. I am relieved that she gave up that horrible putting stand.

    The next thing I want to see is to dress to play the game. Not to display the fashion.

Thanks for your comments! Drs. Lee and 온!

I had to watch latter part of PGA on taped one,
because I had to watch Big Ten Basketball Tournament on live.

University of Michigan Wolverines beat Purdue Boilermakers
quite-handidly to become Big Ten Champion. U of M was defending
Champion as well. Good Luck for NCAA Tournament!

I am happy for Phil Mickelson to win again at age of 47.
He was putting better than ever including his heyday!

Tiger Woods would be the next one?? We shall see in next 2 weeks. KJ

Roaring of Tigress!
