Well maybe not as dramatic as Tin cup. In a practice round at the Newport Country Club in Rhode Island, home to this years US Women’s Open Michelle Wie showed a stubborn but determined side on the 206 yard Par 3 13th.
Wie’s caddie Greg Johnston paced off the hole which he measured at 206 yards (who would want to play behind that) and Wie’s playing partner for the day, Jennie Arsenault, took out a wood and played a long shot to the green. Wie, being a massive hitter took out her 4 iron and gave the ball a ride. Right into a greenside bunker short of the green.
Wie asked her caddie for another ball and shot almost the exact same shot into the exact same bunker, traveling the exact same distance. Her caddie then proceeded to take a wood out of the bag to which Wie exclaimed, “No, this is the right club,” and asked for another ball.
She then placed the ball on the grass, without a tee, and knocked it a few feet from the hole. “Told ya,” she said with a smile to the chuckle of those following her grouping.
Not quite the tin cup drama but she seems to know her clubs and if she’s on this weekend of the US Women’s Open Michelle Wie will be a force to be reckoned with.
