OMEGA DUBAI LADIES MASTERS


December 8, 2010


Michelle Wie West


DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

Q. That was an eventful day on the golf course, what is the verdict overall?
MICHELLE WIE: I'm just happy to be done. I thought that I played pretty good, hopefully make a couple more putts out there tomorrow and not have a 7 on the card.

Q. Having made a 7 and 8, all champions have the ability to bounce back at the last, how did you do that? How did you reset and put it behind you?
MICHELLE WIE: I was pretty mad. I was like, I can't believe that just happened. But things happen on the golf course and all you can do is get mad for a little bit and move forward. So thankfully I got it together on the last hole and made birdie.

Q. Saw you in a fair amount of discomfort a few times, you winced a few times, the injury is obviously a problem for you. How big a factor was it today?
MICHELLE WIE: You know, I'm glad to be done. I'm just going to go out there and just grind out tomorrow.

Q. How will you spend your afternoon?
MICHELLE WIE: Studying, unfortunately.

Q. Talk us through the eagle.
MICHELLE WIE: I hit 3-wood and 6-iron to nine feet.
And then hit it left into the tree, took unplayable, dropped the ball, plugged in the sand and then I hit a 52 out and then I hit like a pitching wedge left of the green, didn't make it up-and-down.

Q. And then the other birdies?
MICHELLE WIE: I hit a 3-wood and then a pitching wedge and about a 12-foot putt.
15, I hit a 6-iron and about a 30-foot putt.
17, I hit a 3-wood and then pitching wedge left and then didn't make it up-and-down.
18, 3-wood, 5-iron and then lob-wedge.

Q. Maybe you can talk a little more about the round, you had an eagle early on and then the triple-bogeys, a little bit of a roller coaster?
MICHELLE WIE: I grinded it out today, just went out there and tried to play the best I could and glad to be done right now, and just going to go out there and grind it out tomorrow.

Q. 3-under, you were up there, second place and then to have the triple-bogey, that must have been disappointing, how did you feel coming off that?
MICHELLE WIE: I was pretty pissed coming off the last hole, but felt good to make birdie and at least be in red numbers, but hopefully tomorrow and the rest of the weekend I won't have that.

Q. How did you feel out there? Has the back been what's bothering you?
MICHELLE WIE: Yeah, I'm just happy to be done. This morning, I didn't know if I could play or not, so I'm glad that I got through today, and three more rounds and I think just feeling good. At least the weather is warm. It's beautiful out here and it's just fun playing out there. So it's good that I got through today, get some rest tomorrow, have an afternoon tee time, so it will be good.

Q. 1-under, does that keep you in the running in the weekend?
MICHELLE WIE: Yeah, for sure I definitely have to do better tomorrow, hopefully make a lot more putts and get a couple shots closer. If I just improve throughout the weekend.

Q. What were some things you felt good about and what were some things you struggled with?
MICHELLE WIE: I think over all I just kind of plodded down the fairway, tried to get on the green, just need to get a little bit closer to the hole and have shorter putts in. But aside from that, just have to make more birdies.
