Michelle Tied for Second After First Round As LPGA Member

Filed under: PGA / LPGA Tour — Joey @ 12:14 am

Good playing today, Michelle. Good luck the rest of the way.

Golf | Wie storms out of gate in paradise.

Michelle Wie made her much-anticipated debut as a full-fledged LPGA member, birdieing her final three holes for a 6-under 66 on Thursday in the first round of the season-opening SBS Open.

The 19-year-old Wie was a stroke behind leader Angela Stanford.

Wie was tied with rookie of the year Yani Tseng, who was ranked 133rd a year ago and is now No. 2. South Korea’s Kyeong Bae had 67, and Japan’s Momoko Ueda shot a 68.

Wie looked comfortable playing in front of the largest gallery and on her home island of Oahu. It was her first U.S. start since July when she was disqualified from the State Farm Classic after opening with a 67. She earned her tour card in December with a seventh-place tie at Q-school.

Congrats, Tiger. I look forward to seeing Charlie at the 2030 Masters.

Tiger and Elin Woods welcome their second child, a son named Charlie.

Tiger Woods's wife, Elin, gave birth on Sunday to a boy, Charlie Axel Woods. It is the second child for the couple; their daughter Sam was born in 2007.

The birth, first reported by the San Diego Union-Tribune, was confirmed on tigerwoods.com.

“Both Charlie and Elin are doing great and we want to thank everyone for their sincere best wishes and kind thoughts,” Woods said in a statement on the site.

Woods has not released any photos of the baby yet, but said he and Elin “look forward to introducing Charlie to you at the appropriate time.”
