Immediately after tapping in Sunday to win her first LPGA Tour title and fulfill a decade of promise, Michelle Wie pulled the ball from the 18th hole, looked up to the sky and let out a big sigh of relief. After all the near misses, after all the expectations, her long wait was over. “It's definitely off by my back,” Wie said. “I think that hopefully life will be a lot better, but I still have a lot of work to do.” Wie closed with a 3-under 69 for a two-stroke victory over Paula Creamer in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational. Wie finished off the victory in style, hitting a greenside bunker shot within a foot on the final hole to set up a birdie. Solheim Cup teammates Morgan Pressel and Creamer showered Wie with beer on the 18th green after the winning putt. Wie's parents, dad B.J. and mother Bo, were there, too, for an embrace. Wie earned $220,000 to push her season winnings just over $900,000. The win came in her 65th LPGA Tour event – she had finished second six times.
