Hand still hurting, Wie WDs from Evian

Michelle Wie was hoping to make her return to the LPGA at next week’s Evian Championship, but her injured right hand isn’t ready.

Wie announced in an Instagram post on Wednesday that she is withdrawing from the year’s final major championship.

“After going through an evaluation with my doctors and my physio team, we have all concurred that my right hand is not quite ready for competition yet,” she wrote. “I’m extremely disappointed, but right now rehabbing my hand back to pain free is my absolute first priority!! Thank you all for staying patient with me and for all the words of encouragement!
