Wie opens with 66, takes 1-shot lead in Singapore
Print Edition
MICHELLE Wie rolled in several clutch putts yesterday and had six birdies in a 10-hole stretch to take a one-stroke lead after the first round of the HSBC Women’s Champions in Singapore.
The 27-year-old Wie, who has struggled with injuries and form since winning the US Open in 2014, shot a 6-under 66 at the new Tanjong course. “It’s a marathon this week, it’s not a sprint,” said the American, currently ranked a lowly 179. “But I have to say I’m very proud of where I’ve positioned myself today.” Five others were tied for second after 67s — Olympic champion Park In-bee, Brooke Henderson, Mo Martin, Anna Nordqvist and Ariya Jutanugarn. Among others in the 63-player field, top-ranked Lydia Ko shot 69 and China’s Feng Shanshan 70.
