The bi-annual golf competition between the American women and the European women concluded on Sunday at Rich Harvest Farms in Illinois with the American women winning over the Europeans in a very tight match with a 16-12 decision.   Michelle Wie and Christina Kim were the two Korean-Americans who led the charge to the American victory.   In fact, Michelle Wie posted a 3-0-1 record during the week, which was best of any player who participated in the Solheim Cup.  She was a captain’s pick which meant she had not originally qualified for the team but was a special selection for the team.  It turned out to be a golden pick because her 3 points contributed signficantly to the win.

Michelle Wie, whose 3-0-1 record was the best of any American this week, grabbed a U.S. flag and held it aloft to cries of “Wheee!” from the crowd. As the last three matches finished, there were shrieks of joy when the next American joined the party, and new rounds of “U-S-A! U-S-A!”

It’s pretty awesome that these two Korean-Americans really represent what it means to be Korean-American.  At the closing ceremony, Christina Kim with “USA” painted on her cheecks, embraced Michelle Wie at the end of the singing of the U.S. national anthem.  Pretty awesome if you ask us!
