+10? Michelle Wie West laughs off her ‘very grim’ first round in return to LPGA golf
Michelle Wie West’s return to golf did not go exactly as planned as the 36-year-old shot a 10-under-par 82 on Thursday that left the former Major champion in second-to-last after the opening round of the Americas Open in New Jersey.
“Dark, very dark. It got very grim,” Wie West joked after her first LPGA Tour in three years.
Wie West, who is hosting the tournament this week, said the nerves hit her as soon as she stepped onto the first tee.
But she said the experience she is gaining at Mountain Ridge Country Club will help when she plays in next month’s US Open, a tournament she won in 2014.
