Wie shoots 28 for first 9 holes in Arkansas
ROGERS, Ark. (AP) - Michelle Wie shot a 7-under 64 - playing her first nine holes in 7-under 28 - to take the second-round lead in the Northwest Arkansas Championship.
Wie, trying for her second straight victory, had the lowest nine-hole score on the LPGA Tour this year. She finished at 10 under Saturday, three strokes ahead of Juli Inkster (66), Yani Tseng (68) and Na Yeon Choi (68).
Wie started her round on No. 10 and birdied five of her first seven holes. She then made an uphill putt of about 35 feet on No. 18 for an eagle on the 515-yard par 5.
She made a tap-in birdie on No. 2 to move to 8 under on the day through 11 holes, but she slowed down a bit after that and will have to contend with several players Sunday as she tries to follow up on her win late last month at the Canadian Women's Open.
