Hello Wie Nation:  Yesterday, Michelle didn’t use the Covert Driver on the first hole… Beth Ann Baldryþ@Golfweek_Baldry23h On 1st tee for Michelle Wie/Lydia Ko pairing @kncgolf. Wie missed left with fairway metal and Ko split fairway with driver. Should be fun. I wonder what she will be using today?  Yesterday, Michelle after her round… Beth Ann Baldryþ@Golfweek_Baldry19h Really good interview with @themichellewie after the round. She was funny and real and a happy camper. Michelle keeps right on trucking…Got to love Wie golf…. Yesterday, Michelle after her round…. Beth Ann Baldryþ@Golfweek_Baldry11h Wie makes another 15-foot birdie putt to get to -2. Someone just referred to it as the table-top technique. That will stick. (hole 2) So, today, Michelle, your group will be one of six featured groups on afternoon TV; and if Wie Nation is going to see some Table Topping, you need to break out of the gate early…Do not wait until the eleventh hole to make another 15-foot birdie putt…. The wind is expected to pick up this afternoon……Rancho Mirage Weather forecast…. 2 PM85° Partly Cloudy / Wind FEELS LIKE: 82° HUMIDITY: 17% PRECIP: 0% WIND: NNW at 22 mph 3 PM87° Mostly Sunny FEELS LIKE: 83° HUMIDITY: 16% PRECIP: 0% WIND: NW at 17 mph 4 PM86° Sunny FEELS LIKE: 83° HUMIDITY: 20% PRECIP: 0% WIND: WNW at 19 mph 5 PM84° Sunny / Wind FEELS LIKE: 81° HUMIDITY: 23% PRECIP: 0% WIND: WNW at 23 mph Michelle and Lydia tee off at 1:30 PM PST…45 minutes… Back shortly |

Ok, Wie Nation….Here we goooooooo…Let’s climb the leader board, Michelle…
Michelle…E…Started T23...Now 28
Lydia…E…Started T23...Now 28
Up first:
Hole 1...Par 4...377yds.
The course opener requires a tee shot down the middle. The three bunkers surrounding the green are the main challenge to this hole. The elongated green hosts some tough pin-placements, so the approach shot must be accurate.
Last 6 rds…5 pars…1 bogey
Yesterday Par
Grip it and Rip it…Michelle

Hole 1...Par 4...377yds…Bogey…+1...T38
Lydia…Par…E…T27
Hit the fairway…fairways hit 1 of 1
Missed the green…gir 0 of 1...In the bunker
Chipped…chip saves 0 of 1
Two putt…putts/gir 0...total putts 2
Sand saves 0 of 1
Up next:
Hole 2...Par 5...521yds.
One of the longest holes on the course, this slight dogleg-left is bordered by traps down both sides of the fairway. Despite the downward slope which makes it hard to hold the green, this is one of the few true birdie holes at Mission Hills. Long hitters can hit the green in two.
Last 6 rds….6 birdies
Yesterday Birdie
Cut line just dropped to +4
Let’s get a birdie and get back to Even, Michelle
Go michelle go

Hole 2...Par 5...521yds…Birdie…E…T27...Good Table Topping, Michelle…LoL ;D ;D ;D Lydia…Par…E…T27 Missed the fairway…fairways hit 1 of 2 Hit the green…gir 1 of 2 One putt…putts/gir 1...total putts 3 Up next: Hole 3...Par 4...415yds. Hole 3’s uphill fairway makes it play longer than it is. The narrow landing area off the tee requires a long, straight shot. Often one of the toughest holes on the course, the large green is made more daunting by difficult pin placement. One of the toughest holes on the course...Let's prove them wrong, Michelle Last 6 rds…5 pars…1 birdie Yesterday Par Go michelle go |

Up next:
Hole 4...Par 4...380yds.
The slight dogleg-right demands an accurate drive. The uphill approach shot to the green is deceiving, and leaves many players scrambling to save par. The three bunkers guarding the green add to Hole 4’s difficulty.
Last 6 rds…4 Pars…2 bogeys

Up next:
Hole 5...Par 3...182yds.
The fifth hole requires a precise iron shot over the water to the two-tiered green. With a rear pin placement, plenty of spin is needed to hold the ball on the top tier

Up next:
Hole 6...Par 4...391yds.
At 391 yards, Hole 6 is a severe dogleg-left. Players who choose to go for it have to carry water and a row of palm trees. A safer tee shot is to the landing area down the right side. The welltrapped green slopes severely from back to front, causing most players to attempt to keep the ball below the hole.

Chipped…chip saves 1 of 3

Up next:
Hole 7...Par 4...395yds.
At 395 yards, prevailing winds often come into play on this sharp dogleg-left. The ideal tee shot lands to the left-center of the fairway. This is the only way to take the trap and mound on the right and trees on the left out of the approach shot.
