Seems like forever since she first came on the scene. Yesterday she handled her first Major win with such grace. Acknowledging that she made career mistakes in the past and that she had learned from them. She seemed genuinely grateful for her sudden rise up the golf rankings so far this year having climbed up to 7th in the Rolex Rankings. http://www.rolexrankings.com/en/rankings/

JMHO but i think this is the most significant story currently on the LPGA. Michelle has the appeal, the ability, and the charisma to move the needle for the LPGA the same way Tiger does in the PGA. It seems now she is at a point in her life where she knows that is what she wants and she is ready to go after it.

I can't wait to see how this plays out.

A lot of Wie haters out there still though, which I don't entirely understand.

I will say that I miss her old swing - it was a thing of beauty. Ledbetter might make for an effective repeatable swing, but I don't enjoy watching it.

Agree. Being a communication major (I'm sure Stanford taught her something relevant here), she, along with her publicists and agents should win back some of the haters over time (She, unlike Tiger, doesn't have any known moral issues outstanding). Her short iron shots look a lot like Zack Johnson now. Her tempo seems to have been speeded up a little, a tighter more compact swing.
