PHOENIX -- Michelle Wie is healthy and confident again. She's in contention in the Bank of Hope Founders Cup, too.
Wie shot a 5-under 67 on Friday on another hot and low-scoring day at Desert Ridge to enter the weekend a stroke behind leaders Stacy Lewis and Ariya Jutanugarn.
Winless in 62 events since the 2014 U.S. Women's Open, Wie is coming off a fourth-place tie two weeks ago in Singapore.
Lewis and Jutanugarn played together, each following an opening 64 with a 67 to reach 13 under in the tournament that broke the LPGA Tour record for the lowest 36-hole cut at 5 under.
