LPGA Championship: Michelle in the Mix

You go, girl!

BTW, how can the LPGA Championship be a major when it’s not even on (free) TV?

Nope, I don’t have Golf Channel. I’d never get anything done…

Michelle Wie moves into contention at LPGA Championship

Michelle Wie could end up making the final LPGA Championship at Bulle Rock an unforgettable event.

Wie shot a 2-under 70 on Thursday to put herself in contention for her first win on the LPGA Tour. The 19-year-old turned pro in 2005, but this marks the first year she’s playing as a tour member.

Thus, she’s still considered to be a rookie.

Wie already has three top-10 finishes this year, and an improved putter helped her finish Thursday with three birdies on the back nine. If Wie makes a run this weekend, Bulle Rock can expect an overflow crowd Sunday for its final round as home of the LPGA Championship.
