14 Interesting Tidbits About Michelle Wie As Told By Her Instagram Account

by @TaraLipinsky

Professional golfer Michelle Wie finally lived up to over a decade of expectations on Sunday, when at 24 years old, she won the first major championship of her career: The 2014 Women’s Open.

Wie also won social media when she started posting photos and videos of a major celebration that included drinking from the trophy and twerking. Alas, those twerking videos have since been removed. From the looks of it, both Tiger Woods and John Daly have a little competition.

1. Wie Is From Hawaii.

3. She adores her dad, but they argue all the time.

4. She sleeps with her dog.

5. Wie graduated from Stanford, that means she's pretty darn smart.

6. But, she still has a silly side.

7. Wie used to love bread. A lot.

8. But now she's Gluten Free.

9. Wie will eat Texas Bar-B-Cue, however.

10. And live squid without so much as a squirm.

11. She's pretty well traveled.

12. Has donned hair extensions.

13. Recently threw out the first "pitch" at the San Francisco Giants Game.
