ST. LEON-ROT, Germany – Michelle Wie has completed 72 holes in only three tournaments since mid-May. And yet, the expectations for Wie at this week’s Solheim Cup are as high as the sides of her high-top shoes.
Why?
Because Wie comes to life at this event. Fans saw it in 2009, when she first gelled with her LPGA peers and went 3-0-1 at Rich Harvest Farms. The Solheim Cup means as much to Wie as anyone else on this team, but when she rolled out of the doctor’s office in early August in a wheelchair, the situation looked grim.
