Michelle Wie West has announced her plans to step away from competitive golf after the upcoming US Women's Open to pursue other endeavors, saying her body can no longer keep with the rigors of the LPGA tour after giving birth to her daughter Makenna in 2020.'At times, if I do play a lot of golf, I'm just in bed [afterwards].' she told Golfweek, 'Or I can't lift [Makenna] up, and that scared me.'Wie West, 32, has battled injuries for much of her career, which began at age 12, when she became the youngest player ever to qualify for an LPGA event. Since then, the trail-blazing native became the youngest player to win a USGA championship at age 13 and the youngest to make the cut at an LPGA event later in 2003.
