Wie inspired by Woods' win ahead of homecoming at Lotte Championship

Michelle Wie says she was inspired Sunday watching Tiger Woods win the Masters.

Wie, looking to show she can find her best form again after hand surgery last fall, gets a double dose of motivation with her return this week at the Lotte Championship in Hawaii, where she grew up. She makes her home now in Jupiter, Fla., but relishes her return to her roots.

She’s dealing with a lot of emotion, making just her fourth start after the surgery, feeling what she did watching Woods continue to complete his comeback.

“I felt so inspired, so motivated [Sunday], just knowing how much he went through, and is kind of going through what I'm going through,” Wie said.
