Lexi Thompson left Michelle Wie behind - off the tee and on the leaderboard in the Kraft Nabisco Championship on Sunday.
The 19-year-old Thompson beat Wie into Poppie's Pond, too, capping her breakthrough major victory with the traditional victory leap into the water near the 18th green. "It is just a dream come true," Thompson said.
Thompson closed with a bogey-free 4-under 68 for a three-stroke victory. She birdied four of the first nine holes to open a five-stroke lead and parred the final nine.
