Wie’s short game saves her
ERIE, Pa. — Michelle Wie advanced to the second round of match play at the U.S. Women’s Amateur, beating Angela Park 1-up Wednesday.
“The long game is important, but I had trouble keeping it in the fairway,” the 14-year-old from Hawaii said. “What won for me today was I made some really great up and downs. “The short game was the difference. Only three words can describe today: nerves of steel.” Wie struggled off the tee in stroke play and tied for 39th among the 64 players who qualified for match play at The Kahkwa Club.
