Hello Wie Nation:

With three good rounds back to back
Is Michelle Wie really back

I wonder if the wind has started blowing yet?
Back when michelle tees off

Go michelle go

[bobawiefan]

I don’t know now play by play will be going today…Playing it by ear…
Lydia Ko started today T42...she is -1 thru 10 and still T42...
And I think they moved up some tees today

Ok Wie Nation…Here wie go…remember Michelle…you get double Solhiem points
this tournament….

WIE, Michelle…-2…Started T12...Now T12
SEO, Hee Kyung…-2...Started T12...Now T12

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
Par-Bogey

Michelle, yesterday you embedded your golf ball in the bunker…let’s miss that
bunker today and get a birdie to start the day…

Go michelle go

[bobawiefan]

Hole 1...Par 4...377yds…Bogey…-1...T26
Seo…Par…-2...T17

Missed the fairway…fairways hit 0 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
Birdie-Birdie

Let’s keep the string going michelle…

Go michelle go

[bobawiefan]

Hole 2...Par 5...521yds…Par…-1...T28
Seo…Par…-2...T18

Missed the fairway…fairways hit 0 of 2
Hit the green…gir 1 of 2
Two putt…putts/gir 2...total putts 4

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.
Last 6 rds…5 Pars-1 birdie
Par-Bogey

Not a very good start for Michelle…
Grip it and rip it michelle…

Go michelle go

[bobawiefan]

Hole 3...Par 4...415yds…Par…-1...T27
Seo…Par…-2...T18

Hit the fairway…fairways hit 1 of 3...220yds…215 to green…
Hit the green…gir 2 of 3
Two putt…putts/gir 4...total putts 6
Dist…220yds
Seo dist…260yds

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
Par-Birdie

Go michelle go

[bobawiefan]

Hole 4...Par 4...380yds…Birdie…_2...T15...Way to go Michelle
Seo…Par…-2...T15

Missed the fairway…fairways hit…1 of 4
Hit the green…gir 3 of 4
One putt…putts/gir 5...total putts 7

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.
Last 6 rds…4 pars-1 birdie-1 bogey
Bogey-birdie

Let’s get another birdie Michelle
Golf pre game is now on..

Go michelle go

[bobawiefan]

Hole 5...Par 3...182yds…Par…-2...T16
Seo…Par…-2...T16

Missed the green…gir 3 of 5
Chipped…chip saves 1 of 2
One putt…putts/gir 5...total putts 8

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.
Last 6 rds…5 pars-1 bogey
Par-Par

Michelle, you started T12...you’re Even for today…Now T16...You’re losing ground
Take advantage of the low winds…Bear down

Go michelle go

[bobawiefan]

Hole 6...Par 4...391yds…Par…-2...T18
Seo…Par…-2...T18

Hit the fairway…fairways hit 2 of 5
Missed the green…gir 3 of 6
Chipped…chip saves 2 of 3
One putt…putts/gir 5...total putts 9

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.
Last 6 rds…4 pars-1 birdie-1 bogey
Bogey-Par

Go michelle go

[bobawiefan]

Hole 7...Par 4...395yds…Par…-2...T19
Seo…Par…-2...T19

Missed the fairway…fairways hit 2 of 6
Hit the green…gir 4 of 7
Two putt…putts/gir 7...total putts 11

Up next:
Hole 8...Par 3...168yds.
Hole 8 is short on yardage and long on intimidation. The elevated green guarded by two traps taunts the player from the tee.
Last 6 rds…4 pars-1 birdie-1 bogey
Par-Birdie

Go michelle go

[bobawiefan]

Hole 8...Par 3...168yds…Par…-2...T19
Seo…Par…-2...T19

Missed the green…gir 4 of 8
Chipped…chip saves 3 of 4
One putt…putts/gir 7...total putts 12

Up next:
Hole 9...Par 5...539yds.
Finishing off the front nine is the longest hole of the course. A sharp dogleg-left, the tee and second shots are tight, tree-lined target areas. The subtle undulations on the green often surprise many a golfer.
Last 6 rds…5 pars-1 birdie
Par-Birdie

Go michelle go

[bobawiefan]

Hole 9...Par 5...539yds…Par…-2...T19
