Wie battling injuries, new swing as she defends Open
Michelle Wie can tell you a lot about the Harton S. Semple Trophy that you didn’t know.
She can tell you the lid on the trophy makes a snappy party hat.
She can tell you sangria tastes better when it’s served from the trophy.
“Kind of used it as a punch bowl,” Wie said.
She can also tell you the trophy holds 21½ beers.
If the U.S. Women’s Open trophy could talk, it could tell some colorful stories about its year with Wie, who claimed the trophy winning the championship at Pinehurst. The trophy could tell you about her victory party, about how Wie’s upside-down twerking as a victory dance became a viral YouTube hit.
