Michelle Wie West's career may not have gone exactly how she planned, but she certainly ended it on a high note.

The 33-year-old was a true golf prodigy when she was even just a child. She made an LPGA cut at age 14, then the youngest ever, and turned professional just before her 16th birthday.

But she didn't quite live up to the expectations that gad been set for her. She won just five LPGA tournaments in her career, one of those being the 2014 U.S. Women's Open at Pinehurst No. 2.

However, her name still resonates with the sport, and in her final round, she rode off into the sunset with quite the memorable stroke.

Wie West said she was calling it a career following this weekend's U.S. Women's Open. She was 14 over par when lining up for a 30-foot putt, and she drained it.

She missed the cut by eight shots, but she does take solace in the very end.

"The game is a funny game," Wie West said. "Making that long putt on 18 definitely was a sweeter sendoff."
