When Michelle tees it up on June 26th, it will be her fourth LPGA event of 2008. From AP-
ROCKVILLE, MD -- Despite playing 36 holes on a humid day with temperatures nearly reaching triple digits, Michelle Wie was still able to flash a big smile as she sat down with the media.Wie's strong finish in Germany is encouraging so far as a sign the teen's golf game is returning. I still believe more evidence is needed before saying conclusively Michelle Wie is back.Qualifying for the U.S. Women's Open will do that.
Playing on two different courses, Wie carded rounds of 70 and 67 and her 137 total was the second-best score on the day and more than enough to qualify her for the 2008 Open, to be played later this month at the Interlachen Country Club in Edina, Minn.
"I think I did pretty well. It feels good to be playing good again," said Wie, who has struggled with her game for much of the last year. "There were a lot of shots that I left out there today with the putting and a couple of errant tee shots in the middle, but other than that I'm pretty pleased with my round and I'm really happy to be playing at the U.S. Open."
