We salute Hawaiian-born and bred Michelle Wie for her second victory as a pro on the LPGA Tour as she wins the CN Canadian Open on Sunday.
She never trailed in four rounds in Winnipeg, Canada, eh? She won by three strokes.

On the back nine on Sunday, Wie, 20, played near flawless golf, with birdies at 13, 14 and 15. While coasting to victory on a Sunday makes for little drama for viewers, it's one of those finishes tour pros love.
In addition to a six-figure payday, she received a hug from fellow pro Kristie Kerr and a dousing of champagne from Christina Kim after making par on the final hole.
Wie told a CBC interviewer it was a "fun day."
Characteristically Wie sprinkled the interview with a bit of her endearing goofiness when she related being a bit nervous during the round after having a "weird dream" and being unable to sleep the night before.
The interviewer wanted to know: Did she care to relate her dream?
"No." She giggled. "It was too weird."
Maybe she'll tell us more on her blog or on Facebook.
In other Sunday sports news from the islands, the team from Waipahu, Hawaii reached the finals of the Little League World Series in South Williamsport, Pa., but the bats fell silent on Sunday to the team from Tokyo.
Japan held the islanders to just four singles and wins for the first time since 2003.
I've always been a fan of Michelle Wie, and I can only wish the best for her.
