Michelle Wie has been playing decent golf at the Women’s British Open. Saving pars, trying to stay on line, and trying to catch the rest of the field.
What she didn’t need was a two stroke penalty after Friday’s second round where she had two saved pars on the final two holes. Michelle Wie incurred the penalty after brushing a piece of moss on her backswing in a greenside bunker. The bunker was on the 14th hole and Michelle didn’t find out about the penalty until after she finished the round.
That might be a good thing because she wasn’t thinking about it for the rest of the round but two strokes is never a good thing. Especially when heading into the tough third and fourth round.
The two stroke penalty that Michelle Wie incurred would have still left her 8 strokes behind the leader, Juli Inkster. Wie now stands 10 strokes back heading into the final two rounds.
