Lorena Ochoa Invitational

[wiesyfan]

Finally, Michelle will be playing again! ;D Let's get started discussing how she will do? It's been 3 weeks since she's been in competition, so how do you think she will do? Win? Top 10? Top 20? Other?

Looks like Michelle went to opening of an Omega store in Guadalajara. Can someone post the picture in the tweet? Her hair looks like it's back to her original hair color.

Here's a picture of Michelle arriving in GDL. She looks like a nerds with the glasses, LOL.

Yeah...I agree it looks like her hair is back to its natural color and the "red" is gone.

Also, she IS a nerd. She's often commented on that. I think most Stanford students consider themselves Nerds.

Let's hope the Lorena tourney is "Revenge of the Nerds"...haha!

Read on another site that she was there early doing practice rounds. Hope she's spent a lot of time on the greens!!

from my blog: Lorena Ochoa Talks To Press Along With Past LOI Winners In-Kyung Kim And Michelle Wie Fairways and Forehands



A very pregnant Lorena Ochoa met the press accompanied by the last two winners of the Lorena Ochoa Invitational, In-Kyung Kim (2010) and Michelle Wie (2009). As much as the actual event and the two past champions, smiles were abound with Lorena’s little bundle of joy on the way. Not with the other two was Angela Stanford, the 2008 winner who holds the low round record of 9-under 63 set in the final round of her victory in the event’s inaugural year.

You can read the transcript of the conversation, along with an interview with the best player in the world, Yani Tseng, here: Lorena Ochoa Invitational Pre-Tourney Interviews





Here are the wins by past champions Wie and Kim:

...and I also like that Michelle is letting the red hair grow out...it was a nice change of pace, but I think her natural color is better... ;D

Nice first round, indeed! Terrific downhill putt birdie on the final hole to bounce back from 17...don't want to get too excited too soon, but this is a great start...

[wiefan]

Hi ya folks...in today's telecast, it showed Wiesy with "PURPLE" coloring on the edges of her ponytail....hey folks, she made that GREAT putt on #18 "FROM ABOVE THE HOLE"....the announcers said that today "NO ONE" made a putt from ABOVE the hole...hmmm...perhaps it was the "PURPLE MAGIC" ....hey hey hey, I gotta grasp at "ANYTHING" for a Positive....actually her round today was PRETTY Darn Good....I am a "BELIEVER" that Wiesy could very well WIN this event...if not, at least a TOP FIVE

anyway...all of you have a great day...see ya!!

[bangkokbobby]

Not bad at all...7th after 2 rounds...within striking distance...and when you consider that there is still room for improvement on putting (31 putts in round 2)...you have to think there might just be a low number there this week...maybe moving day will be the day we see a 5 or 6-under...go Wiesy! ;D

[boolaboss]

How about going for it in 2 on 18.........if her 2nd shot would have bounced straight.........it would have ended up near the cup............leaving her an eagle putt........but that 3-foot downhill birdie gave her some confidence for tomorrow..........now she has to write 2 papers and send them in tonight.........and then she can concentrate on the last 36 holes........GO WIESY GO!!...........

[bangkokbobby]

Hang in there, Michelle! Not the round she was looking for on Saturday...but let's hope she can excite Wie Nation with lots of birdies on Sunday! ;D
