Hello Wie Nation:


Yesterday, Michelle had a very good round of golf …A 66, -6.…
For the tournament, Michelle is -7, T16 and 6 strokes behind the leader Catriona Matthew, -13.…
Today, Michelle let’s do the same on the par 3’s and par 4’s…
But, on the par 5’s, let’s throw in a couple more birdies and an Eagle…
Let’s strive to be in the final group on Sunday…
Let’s have an excellent to super round of golf today!!!!!
Take Route


WIE, Michelle…Started…-7...T16...Now…-7...T16
RYU, So Yeon…Started…-7...T16...Now…-7...T16
KIRK, Katherine…Started…-7...T16...Now…-7...T16

Sand save…Definition
The term given when a player lands in a greenside bunker but still saves par by hitting the ball on the green, then making his first putt.
So, on the par 5’s, when Michelle does not get a sand save, she is going for the green in two, but landing in the bunker…3rd shot, chipping out of bunker…4th shot, missing her birdie putt. 5th shot, saving par….But, no sand save??
Now, we know for sure??

MARINES WELCOME WIE

As part of Memorial Day weekend, special guest Marines from the Naval Air Station Pensacola, had the chance to interview Michelle Wie after they cheered her on to finish her third round Saturday.
Wie worked her way up the leaderboard to end the day three shots behind the leader, Anna Nordqvist.
“There’s a lot of wedges on this golf course so you have to get into a rhythm where you hit driver in the fairway and give yourself a good opportunity for birdie” Wie said.
Wie hopes to carry her 7-under round Saturday momentum into Sunday’s final round, but not before she joined the group of marines in a loud “Ooh-rah” to end the interview.

ROUND 3 INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT: MICHELLE WIE
Saturday, May 24, 2014

Q. We're here with Michelle Wie. Michelle, on this Memorial Day weekend we have some very special guests from NAS Pensacola who would like to interview you and I would like to welcome Lance Corporal Tyler Treadway to the interview.

TYLER TREADWAY: How are you doing, Michelle?
MICHELLE WIE: Good. How are you?
TYLER TREADWAY: You started the day 7‑under, now you're heading to the clubhouse two shots off the lead. How do you feel about that?
MICHELLE WIE: I feel good. I felt like there's a lot of low scores out there so I was just trying to keep up with everyone else making birdies and hopefully I can have another low one tomorrow.
TYLER TREADWAY: What about this course personally do you think allows you and other golfers to shoot such low scores to come out every day and do this?
MICHELLE WIE: You know, I think the par 5s you have to really take advantage of a lot of them. You can get on in two or get close. There's a lot of wedges on this golf course so you have to get into a rhythm where you hit driver in the fairway and give yourself a good opportunity for birdie.
TYLER TREADWAY: Up to this point you've been playing immaculate, so any secrets or training you've been doing for this?
MICHELLE WIE: No, just been doing the same thing that I've always been doing, I've kind of told everyone in the past just be patient and just been doing what I'm doing, just want to improve a little bit each and every day. And I've been working really hard, so it feels good that it's been paying off and I've been playing really well.
TYLER TREADWAY: It surely has, but all of us have one favorite in this. We did an ooh rah for you so you've got to join in with us in this great interview. On the count of three you have to go ooh rah with us. One, two, three ... ooh rah!
