27.05 Michelle Wie:
Spiller på LET denne uken
Michelle Wie var den største barnestjernen veden har sett på kvinnesiden. Hun
er blitt litt borte det siste året av ulike årsaker.
Nå skal hun spille på LET denne uken på wild card.
Her er pressemeldingen:
Michelle Wie plays LET event this week in Germany
(Munich, Germany - Tuesday 27th May 2008) -- Michelle Wie is competing in her
first full field Ladies European Tour event this week, at the HypoVereinsbank
Ladies German Open presented by Audi, on the north eastern outskirts of Munich.
The 18-year-old from Honolulu in Hawaii has been given a sponsor’s invitation
to play in the 72-hole tournament at Golfpark Gut Häusern, which begins on
Thursday.
The tournament will be Wie’s third competitive appearance of the year after two
starts on the US LPGA Tour at the Fields Open in Hawaii and at the Michelob
ULTRA Open at Kingsmill.
Wie does not play on any tour but has accumulated on course earnings of more
than US$760,000 since turning professional in October 2005.She made the
decision to play in Germany to get more tournament practise.
“I just thought I needed to play in more tournaments. I found at the last
tournament I was really rusty and I needed to play in more tournaments. They
gave me a sponsor exemption and I thought, “Wow, Munich! I’ve never been there
and it’s a great opportunity.” It’s a really great honour to be here,” said
Wie.
“It’s really nice, I really like it. I’ve been to the main area down town and I
really like it. It’s got great architecture, great food; a lot of meats and
sausages!
“I feel a lot healthier and I want to start playing more and playing some good
golf. My goal is just to have fun and keep my head on straight and shoot some
low scores. I’ve never played here in Germany before. All the players seem
really fun and have really welcomed me.”
Wie will tee off at 9am local time in the first round on Thursday with the 2007
Madrid Ladies Masters champion Martina Eberl from Germany, who is competing on
her home course, and Spain’s Paula Marti, the 2002 LET order of merit winner.
Recent LET champions Lisa Hall, Emma Zackrisson, Gwladys Nocera and Lotta
Wahlin are also in the 127-player field, along with the current leading money
winner for 2008, South Korean teenager Amy Yang, who finished second last week
in Switzerland. Wie played a practise round with Yang, who is also 18, on
Tuesday in Germany in sunny conditions.
The LET returns to Germany for the first time in seven years, following the
2001 event at the Nick Faldo Course, Bad Saaro in Berlin, won by Karine Icher
and will be visiting Golfpark Gut Häusern for the first time.
The Peter Harradine course, which opened in May 2003, will be playing at 6204
yards for the €250,000 event, which features a first prize of €37,500.
Surrounded by lush farmland and rolling countryside, the course is located just
outside the village of Market Indersdorf approximately 40km from Munich city
centre.
