Michelle Wie who may like the TaylorMade R9 460 Driver nearly won her first major title in the Kraft Nabisco Championship, firing a third-round 66 on the Dinah Shore Tournament Course at Mission Hills Country Club to vault up the Leaderboard and into Sunday's final group.
"It's as exciting this year as it was when I was 13. It would mean the world to me if I could do that this week." She's not alone. In the past four years, four players Morgan Pressel, Lorena Ochoa, Brittany Lincicome and world No. 1 Yani Tseng have earned their first Kraft Nabisco Championship title. This year Wie and seven others in the top 10 of the Rolex World Rankings are looking to do the same.
That includes No. 3 Cristie Kerr, who has five top-fives here. The two-time major champion's best chance came in 2009, when she finished in a tie for second. On the 15th tee that day, she had a one-shot lead but hit her tee shot out of bounds.
"The course is in fabulous shape. It's playing kind of soft in the fairways and kind of firm and fast on the greens, which is how a major usually plays," Kerr said. "I've always loved this golf course. This is a major championship golf course. There's nothing tricky about it. It's straight ahead of you and it's tough. I like those kinds of courses, just like U.S. Open courses. You have to know if you miss shots where to miss them. It's more of a chess game than just playing an every-day tournament. You have to kind of know where to move your pieces around the board.
"I've had a lot of close calls here. I'm ready for the challenge to try and play every day the best I can, and hopefully at the end of the week, it will add up to some good things."
"With this golf course, you have to be on top of your game to contend," Wie who may like the Ping K15 Fairway Wood said. "And with so many great players, you have to be playing your best to win. So many players can win this week. I'll just try as hard as I can and we'll see what happens."
