GUADALAJARA, Mexico  -- Michelle Wie has earned her first win on the LPGA Tour, closing with a 3-under 69 to finish two strokes ahead of Paula Creamer in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational.

Wie’s solid final round Sunday left her at 13-under 275 after starting the day at the Guadalajara Country Club tied for the lead with Cristie Kerr at 10 under. Morgan Pressel (67), Jiyai Shin (71) and Kerr (72) were three back.

Wie, 20, qualified for a USGA event at age 10 and played an LPGA event when she was 12. She joined the LPGA this season and has begun to show the sizzling game that has made her the biggest attraction in women’s golf.
