Michelle Wie Canadian Women’s Open 2011
Michelle Wie Canadian Women’s Open 2011 – Michelle Wie defends Canadian Women’s Open title in 2011 at Hillsdale Golf Club Montreal.
Michelle Wei tees off at Canadian Women’s Open 2011 with skeptics like Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam commenting about how Wei’s decision to attend Stanford hurt her progress and women’s golf.
The 2011 Canadian Women’s Open with Michelle Wie defending champion begins Thursday and the LPGA golfer has sounded off about her decision to return to college saying it “returned her life to normal and rekindled her love for the game.”
Michelle Wie still believes winning regularly on the LPGA women’s tour is a realistic goal and the 21-year-old Stanford University student is working hard with coach David Leadbetter.
“I know I need to be better and to work harder at my game. I want to be at a higher level and that obviously requires a lot of work.”
Besides the Canadian Women’s Open title, Michelle Wie has won just one other stroke play tournament in her career and that was two years ago in Mexico. She is 20th on the earnings list this year and her best performance was a runner-up finish in February in Thailand. She has missed just two of 13 cuts this season.
In the 2010 Canadian Women’s Open, Wie shot a final round 70 to take a three shot victory over Shin Ji-Yai of South Korea, Suzann Pettersen and Kristy McPherson. This week in Montreal Wei will once again be up against Pettersen, who is ranked No. 2 in the world, and Canadian veterans Lorie Kane and Alena Sharp.
That’s the buzz on Michelle Wie Canadian Women’s Open 2011.
