After years of injury and controversy, too much hype and money and not enough birdies, Wie won her first pro tournament Sunday afternoon at the LPGA&#8217;s Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Guadalajara, Mexico. Typical of Wie&#8217;s highly melodramatic career, the win didn&#8217;t come easily, as she survived a final round dogfight with a half-dozen of the game&#8217;s biggest names, ultimately making five straight nerve-jangling pars and then a gorgeous birdie on the final hole to close out a two-stroke victory over Paula Creamer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px;margin-right: 0px;margin-bottom: 1.5em;margin-left: 0px;padding-top: 0px;padding-right: 0px;padding-bottom: 0px;padding-left: 0px;font-size: 1em;line-height: 1.4em\">Along the way Wie displayed both her awesome talent and enduring starpower, reminding everyone what all the fuss was about in the first place. It was a deeply personal triumph, capping a period of tremendous maturation on and off the golf course.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin-top: 0px;margin-right: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-left: 0px;padding-top: 0px;padding-right: 0px;padding-bottom: 0px;padding-left: 0px\">Read more:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.golf.com\/golf\/tours_news\/article\/0,28136,1939582,00.html#ixzz0WyfdrYNz\">http:\/\/www.golf.com\/golf\/tours_news\/article\/0,28136,1939582,00.html#ixzz0WyfdrYNz<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She did it, finally, and we have so much to look forward with Michelle Wie.
