Mississippi Golfing: Tunica National GC July 7, 2014

2nd Golfing outing after the UMACA Reunion weekend!

Weather was surprisingly good in the upper Mississippi Delta (except we still had to deal with the mosquitoes!).

We had to skip #16 and #17 (slow players in front of us) due to time constraints but it was a great time!

Thanks to Mike & Tammy for treating us!

Michelle Wie has won the first major event of her career

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - After nearly a decade on the LPGA tour, Michelle Wie has finally won the first major tournament of her career.

The Punahou grad finished -2 over the weekend to become the champion of the 69th U.S. Women's Open Championship in Pinehurst, North Carolina.

The 24-year-old entered the day tied for the lead with Amy Yang and used consistent play to hold on to the lead.

Wie made par on eight of her nine holes and then got a boost from an eagle on the 10th.

This is Wie's second win of the year and her ninth top-10 finish in 13 starts.

She claimed the Lotte Championship at Ko Olina back in April.
