20-year-old Michelle Wie won the CN Canadian Women’s Open by three shots, claiming her second LPGA tour victory and moving up five spots to seventh in the women’s world rankings. The Korean American from Hawaii beat out World No. 4 Jiyai Shin to clinch the top spot in Winnipeg. Having turned pro at 15, Wie has built up an impressive brand – which includes sponsorships with big names like Nike and Sony — and has been working to back up the hype with LPGA tour wins like Sunday’s.
