Se Ri Pak took the title at the LPGA Championships this past weekend leaving Michelle Wie winless once again. Se Ri Pak beat Karrie Webb in a playoff hole, as the two held of charges for the lead by Annika and Michelle, as well as a handful of others.
Pak made an unbeleivable shot from 201 yards away landing the ball a mere 3 inches from the cup to seal the victory and win the LPGA championship. Se Ri Pak has had quite a return to golf after taking a leave from injury and just being worn out. Pak payed no attention to all the media attention Wie was getting after narrowly missing out on a chance to qualify for the mens US Open. She also held of charges from 12 women who came close to over taking her postition atop the leader board.
Although we here at Getting to Scratch realize that most of the hoopla that surrounds Michelle Wie is pure promotion we also feel as though the young lady should take a stab at winning a tournament on the Womens tour first before taking a spot from a male at one of the most prestigous PGA tour events of the Year. They have to make a living too you know. Especially those that don’t have $10 million Nike contracts.
Congratulations to Se Ri Pak for showing everyone sometimes all you need is a little breather, just a little vacation to get you back on track.
