Wie Wishes Women's Major Staged in Asia

SINGAPORE — American golfer Michelle Wie said she would like to see one of the five women's major championships staged in Asia.

The region's heavy interest in the women's game, buoyed by the number of local players at the top of the world rankings, is reflected with seven events on the LPGA schedule in Asia, including the HSBC Women's Champions in Singapore from March 3-6.

But the 26-year-old Korean-American said she would like Asia to get in on the major scene, which was boosted to five in 2013 when the French-based Evian Championship joined the British Open and three American hosted elite championships.
