BEDMINSTER, N.J. – Michelle Wie is hopeful she will be ready to tee it up for her Thursday afternoon start to the U.S. Women’s Open despite a battle with neck spasms.
Wie’s preparation has been limited since she arrived in New Jersey in pain on Sunday.
Her IMG management team reported she’s optimistic she will be fully ready to go by Thursday. She has been treated by two doctors since her arrival.
During the offseason, Wie suffered some whiplash in a minor car accident. She recovered before starting the year but her neck pain began to flare up in the final round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship two weeks ago.
