After a few years of empty promises, injuries, drama, and even controversy, Michelle Wie has finally bagged her first LPGA tour victory. Michelle was able to overpower Paula Creamer to win the Lorena Ochoa Invitational at Guadalajara.

Michelle let out a sigh of relief after putting in for birdie at 18, clinching the win.

“For sure, it’s definitely off 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 finished at 13-under 275 after starting the day tied for the lead with Cristie Kerr at 10 under. Kerr shot a 72 and finished three back, tied with Morgan Pressel (67) and Jiyai Shin (71).

The win for Michelle was inevitable, and many figured the win would come in 2009. She has been winless on the LPGA tour over the past few seasons. She has been criticized by many for attempting to play on the men’s PGA tour without ever proving herself on the LPGA tour. They say the first one is the toughest, so plan on seeing Michelle in the winner’s circle much more often next season.
