Michelle Wie West kehrt mit emotionaler erster Runde auf die LPGA-Tour zurück

Michelle Wie West kehrte am Donnerstag nach dreijähriger Abwesenheit in den LPGA-Wettbewerb zurück und kämpfte während einer herausfordernden Runde bei den Mizuho Americas Open mit ihrer Nervosität.

Die 36-jährige ehemalige Siegerin der U.S. Women's Open begann mit einem Par, ließ darauf jedoch drei Bogeys, ein Triple-Bogey und ein Doppel-Bogey folgen. Sie notierte eine 82er-Runde (10 über Par) im Mountain Ridge Country Club in West Caldwell, New Jersey. Es war ihr erster wettbewerbsorientierter Start seit den U.S. Women's Open 2023 in Pebble Beach.
