With six birdies in a final-round 67, Michelle Wie charged to the top
of the leaderboard Saturday at the LPGA Lotte Championship and claimed
her third win on the tour.
Wie -- just two weeks removed from her runner-up finish in the
season's first major, the Kraft Nabisco Championship -- birdied Nos. 1, 5
and 6 to quickly move to 12 under. Two holes later, third-round leader
Angela Stanford bogeyed to create a tie atop the leaderboard. Wie took
the lead with a birdie at the 13th and needed another at the 14th to
stay ahead of Stanford, who closed with 73, then pulled away down the
stretch for a two-shot win at 14 under par.
"I think being back home, I think just not putting pressure on
myself, just feeling all the support from the people this week, and you
know just being patient -- I just had a blast this week," Wie told Golf
Channel.
