Michelle Wie ties for the best round of the day
by Adam Stanley
At 6-under, Michelle Wie tied with Sung Hyun Park, Becky Morgan, and Madelene Sagstrom for the round of the day Sunday at the Shoprite LPGA Classic presented by ACER. With her bogey-free finish, Wie was able to move up to a tie for 3rd, her third top-10 of the year.
Wie said the key to her round was her wedge play, something she had been struggling with earlier in the week.
“I just stuck it close in there today,” she said. “I was kind of frustrated after my first round, I just couldn’t get my wedges close at all. I spent a lot of time on the range afterwards just working on my wedge game.
“I’m glad it paid off today. I hit it a lot closer today which felt good.”
Wie made five birdies on her first nine holes and admitted this finish gave her some great momentum moving forward, especially as she tries to make the Solheim Cup team.
“I’m stalking the list for sure. I’m trying to get as many points as I can and trying to get up there and make the team,” she said. “After a missed cut last week you always have things creeping up in your head giving you a bit of doubt, but it felt good out there today to crush all of (the doubt) and keep building momentum.”
