Michelle Wie Wins Canadian Open

After leading the Canadian Open from the first round through to the last day, Michelle Wie capped off the weekend with a dominating win over her closest competitor and fourth in the world, Jaiya Shin. Michelle Wie earns a $340,000 payout for the win and will surly move up from her 12th ranked spot.

Michelle Wie played great golf all weekend long making putts, driving the ball well, and playing smart. She entered the final round tied with Shin and might have been phased by this were it 2 years ago. But the new and improved Wie is looking in top competitive form against the best in the world.

After this weekend Michelle will play one more tournament before she heads < ahref="http://www.wieblogging.com/2006/12/19/michelle-wie-is-going-to-stanford/">back to school at Stanford.
