Michelle Wie got her twerk on and raged after winning US Open (Video)

June 23, 2014

Michelle Wie won the first major of her career on Sunday when she captured the 2014 US Open title. How did she celebrate? Like most 24-year-olds would.

Wie, a former Stanford student, raged her face off with her friends. As you can see from the video above, she even decided to get her twerk on at one point and drink beer from the US Open trophy. Here’s a better photo of that, which Wie herself posted on Instagram.

Wie and her friends posted a lot more stuff on Instagram late Sunday night and early Monday morning, but much of it has been deleted. I’m guessing her publicist warned her about her Happy Gilmore-like behavior going viral. Personally, I don’t see the big deal. Well, it’s probably best to get rid of photos like this:

Rory McIlroy drank out of the US Open trophy a few years ago when he won his first major and we thought it was great. Women’s golf isn’t exactly a popular sport, so having a 24-year-old that knows how to have a good time and can relate to fans is probably a good thing.

And THIS is how you relate to the common folk:
