Michelle Wie won the Canadian Women's Open on Sunday for her second career victory on the L.P.G.A. Tour. Wie shot a two-under 70 to finish at 12 under for the tournament at the St. Charles Country Club in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Wie had five birdies, including on the 13th, 14th and 15th holes.

"I made a lot of crucial putts today," said Wie, who at 10 years old was the youngest player to qualify for the U.S. Amateur Championship.

Wie led wire-to-wire after an opening 65 and was tied with Shin for the lead entering the final round at 10 under.

Looking beyond the sizzle of the cover, readers will find the unmatched knowledge imparted by David in his annual cover feature of Golf Digest. The topic? The 5 Keys of The Great Ball-Strikers...

Got your attention? Then head over to your local news stand or visit GolfDigest.com for the complete article.

Here's a brief excerpt:

Golf swings are like fingerprints: No two are the same. So trying to copy someone else's mechanics, whether it's a specific teaching method or one of the game's famous swings, is nearly impossible. For example, Greg Norman used Jack Nicklaus' book Golf My Way to learn the game, but you'd never think those two hit the ball the same way.

To paraphrase an old saying, there's no one swing for all, but there is one swing for you.

Leadbetter, who is widely regarded as golf's top instructor and the "man who invented the golf instruction industry," has been outspoken on the dangers of skin cancer since his father succumbed to melanoma in 1998. His signature wide brimmed hat is part of Leadbetter's "three P's" against sun damage for golfers and other outdoor enthusiast - Protect, Prevent and Preserve."

"I've always understood the importance of protecting oneself from the dangers of sun exposure. Whether you make your living outdoors on a golf course or spend just a few hours in the sun during an occasional weekend round of golf, it is important to understand the measures you need to take to protect yourself," says David Leadbetter. "I hope to be able to spread that message to golfers all over the world through my association with the Sun Safe Tee Program."

In addition to promoting skin cancer awareness and protection during his travels while working with PGA Tour, European PGA Tour, LPGA and Champion Tour players, Leadbetter will incorporate the Sun Safe Tee Program into the 28 David Leadbetter Golf Academies located in 13 countries around the world.

Three weeks after successfully defending her title at the Thunderbird International Junior in Scottsdale, Ariz., Cindy Feng won her most prestigious title to date Thursday, carding a bogey-free round of 3-under-par 68 to finish at 7 under and win the AJGA's Rolex Girls Junior Championship by four shots.

Only a rising freshman at Windermere Preparatory School, Feng moved from her native China to Orlando, Fla., in 2005. She dominated the Florida Junior Tour before she started playing AJGA events in 2008, and she has won 10 times on the more prestigious AJGA tour in just three years.

Now she can add consecutive invitational titles to her impressive list of accomplishments, which soon will include two appearances at the U.S. Women's Open, where she missed the cut last year.

"I was really young before, so sometimes I get really hyper after winning one and play really bad the second tournament," Feng said. "This time, my parents are keeping me grounded, and my golf game technique-wise is more consistent than before, so that helps."

Sun Young Yoo, who trains at DLGA ChampionsGate under Master Certified Instructor Andrew Park, climbed through the toughest draw in the 64-player field, to defeat former British Open champion Karen Stupples, 3 and 2, on Thursday; beat No. 5 Cristie Kerr, 4 and 2, on Friday; went through No. 12 Song-Hee Kim, 1 up, and No. 4 Yani Tseng, 2 and 1, on Saturday; and finished up with a Sunday 3 and 1 victory over No. 10 Angela Stanford.

(From NewYorkTimes.com) - As the torrent of South Korean golfers continues to widen, now comes Sun Young Yoo, a 23-year-old from Seoul who arrived here in the middle of last week with a goal of staying two days and departed Sunday evening with $375,000 and an ample Tiffany crystal trophy.

A noiseless L.P.G.A. mainstay with no prior titles and with one runner-up finish across five years on the tour, Yoo entered the Sybase Match Play Championship with a ranking of No. 40 and scant hint that she would make prey of one British Open champion and the players ranked Nos. 5, 12, 4, 1 and 10.

By the time Yoo finished off No. 10 Angela Stanford in the final Sunday at Hamilton Farm Golf Club, South Korea had another player with realistic designs on a lofty ranking, and Yoo's older sister had tears in her eyes.

"It's been a long five years," her sister Ja-young Yoo said, a reference to the soaring golf expectations in South Korea.

With a dramatic flourish and a triumphant gesture, Camilo Villegas of Colombia brought his storybook week to a climactic finish Sunday, winning the Honda Classic by five strokes over Anthony Kim with a birdie on the 72nd hole that brought the huge, partisan gallery to its feet.

For Villegas, 28, the final birdie was rife with symbolism. It put a fitting close to a week that began with his journey home to Colombia -- to help kick off the Nationwide Tour Pacific Rubiales Bogota Open, his country's first officially sponsored PGA Tour event -- and ended with his third and most convincing victory on the PGA Tour.

And it came by a record score of 13-under-par 267 at the PGA National Resort and Spa (home to one of our DLGA locations).

Camilo currently works with instructor Kevin Smeltz (learn more about Kevin here).

Worsley and Crawford, both 80, are long-time neighbours and full-time jokers. Since Crawford lost his vision, Worsley has also been his golf coach, directing him around the course.

Eight years ago, a stroke took away most of the sight in Crawford's right eye. Two years ago, another stroke took the vision in the left.

He didn't think he would golf again. But there was Worsley, dragging him to the course, making jokes and calling out the sand traps.

"The first time was really frustrating," Crawford said. "After three or four times, I stopped worrying about the score and just had fun."

It helped that he knew the fairways like the back of his hand.

Crawford has been golfing since he was 16, splitting his time between Scarborough's Tam O'Shanter Golf Course and the courses in Clearwater, Fla. His best score was 74 for 18 holes. His top score since he lost his sight was 52 for nine.

On Friday, both men were at the Toronto Star Golf & Travel Show in matching Ontario Visually Impaired Golfers jackets. Crawford was named Callaway Golf's "Most Passionate Golfer," which earned him a lesson with David Leadbetter, who has coached the likes of Ernie Els, Nick Faldo, Trevor Immelman, Ian Poulter, and Michelle Wie.

(Golf Digest) - Dressed in pink on a chilly day in the desert, Poulter captured the biggest victory of his career Sunday by leading the final 28 holes and beating Paul Casey, 4 and 2, in the all-England final at the Match Play Championship.

"It's been a long time coming," Poulter said, after closing out Casey with a par on the 34th hole. "I knew I was in great form. I felt comfortable all day on the golf course."

Poulter won for the ninth time on the European Tour and moved to a career-best No. 5 in the world ranking. He earned $1.4 million, the biggest prize of his career.

Known mostly for what's in his closet, Poulter quickly is gaining a strong reputation for his prowess in match play. He improved his overall record in the Match Play Championship to 18-7, and was so dominant on the weekend that he trailed for only one hole over the final 50 holes of the tournament.

Pettersen opens the season strong but can't hold off hard charging Miyazato

In other DLGA student news, Suzann Pettersen played bogey free golf for the first three rounds of the season opening Honda PTT LPGA in Thailand, but couldn't withstand an impossible rally in the final round by Ai Miyazato who shot a 9-under 63 to take the tournament by a stroke.

Miyazato, six strokes behind Pettersen after the third round, was 6 under in a six-hole stretch midway through the round, then birdied three of the last six holes to match the tournament record of 21 under set by Pettersen in October 2007.

"There's nothing I can do when Ai shoots 9 under," Pettersen said.

"I played pretty good golf and I don't waste much energy thinking of why I didn't win it. For me, it was a great start. ... Obviously, it's not a win. I had two bogeys this entire week, they both came today, but it's hard to play four rounds of no bogey golf. What I've been doing this winter has been a good thing."
