Morning Announcements - 5/22/18

     Hello! Today, in honor of Asian/Pacific Heritage Month, we will be discussing Michelle Wie, a Korean-American professional golfer who plays on the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour. She was born on October 11, 1989 in Honolulu, Hawaii. At the age of 10, she became the youngest golf player to ever qualify for a USGA amateur scholarship. She was also the youngest golf player to win the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links Championship, and the youngest to qualify for an LPGA Tour event. Ms. Wie became a professional golf player only shortly before her 16th birthday in 2005. Lastly, she won her first major golf championship at the 2014 U.S. Women’s Open.
