Advertiser News Services

Honolulu's Michelle Wie rallied with two birdies on her final four holes for a 1-over-par 72 today in the final round of the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania, Ohio.

Wie tied for 46th at 1-over 285 and earned $4,831. Paula Creamer shot a 73 and did just enough to make a big lead stand, going wire-to-wire to win by two strokes at 16-under 268.

Starting on the back nine, Wie birdied the par-4 No 16, but bogeyed Nos. 17 and 18, both par-5s to make the turn at 1 over. She bogeyed the par-4 No. 1 and birdied the par-3 No. 2. After consecutive bogeys at Nos. 4 and 5 (both par-4s) put her at 3 over, she made consecutive birdies at the par-3 No. 6 and par-5 No. 7.
