Her results in Hawaii were mixed.
KAPOLEI, Hawaii -- After two encouraging rounds to start her year, Michelle Wie shot a 6-over 78 on Saturday in the final round of Fields Open to finish 20 strokes behind winner Paula Creamer.I'd say the jury is still out. Michelle's results were all right the first two rounds. Houndog did however note that while Michelle shooting a first round 69, she only hit six fairways and nine greens in regulation."Obviously I'm a little disappointed with today's round," said Wie, who opened with rounds of 69 and 73.
At 4-over 220, she tied for last among the 74 players who made the cut.
"Felt like I was a little rusty out there," Wie said. "I just got to keep on playing."
The 18-year-old Wie, who started the round on No. 10 at 2 under, went double bogey-par-triple bogey to fall to 3 over heading into the turn. She rebounded a bit on the final nine, with two birdies and three bogeys, including one on the final hole.
*****
The Stanford freshman shot a 69 on Thursday, breaking 70 for the first time since the Evian Ladies Masters in July 2006. She made the cut with two strokes to spare with a second round 73.
Where does Michelle play next? I don't know, but I did read she wasn't invited to the Kraft Nabisco the LPGA's first major. We may have to wait a while before getting chance to evaluate the state of Michelle Wie's golf game.
