Wie battling injuries, new swing as she defends Open

Michelle Wie can tell you a lot about the Harton S. Semple Trophy that you didn’t know.

She can tell you the lid on the trophy makes a snappy party hat.

She can tell you sangria tastes better when it’s served from the trophy.

“Kind of used it as a punch bowl,” Wie said.

She can also tell you the trophy holds 21½ beers.

If the U.S. Women’s Open trophy could talk, it could tell some colorful stories about its year with Wie, who claimed the trophy winning the championship at Pinehurst.
