Michelle Wie Twerks, Drinks Out of Trophy in Celebration of US Open Win

By    |   Thursday, 26 June 2014 09:57 AM EDT

Golf champ Michelle Wie put in the work, and celebrated her recent victory with a twerk.

Wie clinched her first major victory on Sunday at the 2014 U.S. Open, finishing as the only player under par, Golf.com reported. That night, the 24-year-old former Stanford student surprised audiences when she got rowdy with her friends, drinking beer out of the tournament trophy and twerking upside down on the wall.

Not only did the golfer party hard, but she and her friends seemingly posted every last detail to social media sites like Instagram and Twitter.







On Tuesday, Wie visited New York, taking her trophy for a walk around town, and up to the top of the Empire State building. She also visited Matt Lauer and the rest of NBC's "Today" show cast.





On Wednesday, several publications were still tittering about Wie's antics, but many, including Kathie Lee and Hoda, were simply happy for her.

"I am thrilled for her. And look, I think when you're 24 that is how you celebrate," said Hoda Kotb, playing a clip of Wie shaking her rump. "It's not Arnold Palmer, you know what I’m saying?"
