Michelle Wie, stunning in a purple dress at Sunday’s final round of U.S. Women’s Golf Open, has stolen the spotlight and made headlines though the golfer faltered in her first LPGA major.

While Wie has never won a major, the 22-year-old American golfer styled up in a tight purple dress at Blackwolf Run in Kohler, Wisconsin, capturing the attention of media and golf fans.

Michelle Wie in the hot purple dress smiled and waved at her fans though the high fashion may have brought her scores down. Wie started the final round in 13th place and fell down to 35th by the end.

Golf fans did not miss the buzz on Twitter.

“Michelle Wie struggling today. She's over 5 on the day through 7 holes. On a happier note, her Nike dress is sweet. Have to be uber thin tho,” tweeted Beth.

"Purple dress proves unlucky for golf prodigy Michelle Wie at US Open Michelle Wie, who seemed confident that she was going to be crowned," tweeted Cindy McDonalds. 

 

"It was one of the most frustrating rounds for me," Wie told the Orlando Sentinel.

"There are some things I need to work on, but at the same time this week was a definite confidence-booster for me," she commented Sunday. "Being up there in contention kind of got my juices flowing and kind of made me want it more. I felt what it was like again."

Since Michelle turned pro back in 2005 with a promising career ahead, she has never made the cut.
