Former golf phenom ends career with an impressive 30-foot putt at the US Women’s Open at Pebble Beach

Michelle Wie West’s career may not have gone exactly as she planned, but it certainly ended on a high note.

The 33-year-old was a true golf prodigy when she was just a child. She made an LPGA cut at 14, then the youngest of all, and she turned pro just before her 16th birthday.

But it did not live up to the expectations that had been set for it. She’s won just five LPGA tournaments in her career, one of which was the 2014 US Women’s Open at No. 2 Pinehurst.

Wie West said she would call it a race after this weekend’s US Women’s Open. She was 14 over par when she lined up for a 30-foot putt and drained it.

He missed the cut by eight shots, but is consoled in the end.
