Britain Golf – RICOH Women’s British Open 2016 – Woburn Golf & Country Club, England – 29/7/16 USA’s Michelle Wie on the 18th during the second round Action Images via Reuters / Andrew Couldridge Livepic Michelle Wie has endured a startling decline since her U.S. Open triumph in 2014 following a string of niggling injuries but the American made the most of a couple of favors to climb to the top of the HSBC Women’s Champions leaderboard on Thursday. Ranked as high as world number two after her maiden major victory at Pinehurst, the 27-year-old Hawaiian has only managed one top-10 finish since and has undergone a series of swing and putting style changes in a bid to arrest her extended slump.
