2014 winner Wie won't compete in U.S. Women's Open
Michelle Wie has withdrawn from next week’s U.S. Women’s Open as she continues to “take some time away” to allow her surgically repaired right hand to more fully heal.
She made the announcement Friday on social media.
“While I’m making progress with my recovery, I have decided to withdraw from the U.S. Women’s Open,” Wie wrote. “It was a difficult decision to make because the U.S. Open was one that I was looking forward to playing in all year, but my recovery and health is the priority. Thanks so much for all the messages of support – they really keep my spirits up. I am hopeful that I’ll be seeing you all back out on tour very soon!”
