How good - or bad - is Michelle Wie's left -handed golf swing? You can judge for yourself with this clip, but taking into account she's swinging in chunky heels and cut-off jean shorts .... And here's a couple other Wiezy scenes we don't normally see. First, via a Spapchat filter, here's goth Wie: And here is Michelle sporting a nose ring:

Finland isn't a country typically associated with great golf. But there are a slew of young, female Finnish golfers, both on pro tours and at American colleges, who are starting to change that. One of them is Linda Henriksson, who just claimed her first victory on the LET Access Series, the feeder circuit to the Ladies European Tour. Linda won the 2017 VP Bank Ladies Open in Switzerland, a tournament that concluded on May 6. There was an odd ending to regulation play. The final round was played in very blustery conditions, very tough on scoring: Not a single player broke par in the final round. Henriksson's even-par 72 was tied for low round of the day, and she finished at 4-under 212. That was a total she thought would be good enough to win and, indeed, Henriksson appeared to have a 1-stroke victory. But it turned out the scoreboard operators had made a mistake: Nina Pegova, of Russia, was actually one stroke better than her score appeared on the scoreboard. Pegova

Ha-Neul Kim is a winner again on Japan's LPGA circuit. Kim claimed the title at the 2017 JLPGA CyberAgent Ladies Golf Tournament at Grand Fields Country Club in Shizuoka, Japan, a tournament that concluded on April 30. It was sweet revenge for Ha-Neul, who barely missed the trophy in this event a year ago. At the 2016 tournament, Ha-Neul got into a playoff, only to lose when a putt lipped out. No such problem this year, although once again Kim needed a playoff to claim the victory. On the first extra hole, Kim knocked it close to the hole on her approach, then sank the birdie putt for the win. This was Kim's first victory of 2017, but her fourth career win on the JLPGA. She's been playing the JLPGA full-time since 2015. Prior to that, Ha-Neul was an 8-time winner in her native Korea on the KLPGA, including the 2011 Hite Jinro Championship, one of the KLPGA's majors. One of her wins in Japan - the 2016 Japan LPGA Tour Championship Ricoh Cup - is a JLPGA major.
