Love dulling the pain? Wie back from injury at ANA with fiancé in tow

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – Michelle Wie played nine holes of practice Monday at Mission Hills and another nine Tuesday in preparation for the ANA Inspiration, the year’s first major championship.

She’s looking to make her first start since withdrawing in pain in the first round of her title defense at the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore almost five weeks ago. It will be just her third start in five months, since she underwent season-ending surgery last fall to repair an avulsion fracture, bone spurs and nerve entrapment in her right hand.

So far, so good.

“It feels pretty good, knock on wood,” Wie told GolfChannel.
