ST. LEON-ROT, Germany – Six years ago, Juli Inkster watched Michelle Wie rise to the occasion under pressure at the Solheim Cup and predicted Wie would win her first LPGA title before the year was out.
Wie did just that, taking the Lorena Ochoa Invitational.
After watching Gerina Piller bury the most pressure-packed putt in the United States’ dramatic comeback Sunday in Germany, there are a lot of reasons to believe Piller’s on her way to breaking through for her first LPGA title.
Piller’s putt Sunday might not be remembered for clinching the American victory, but it was the most important in the comeback.
