CHASKA, Minn. – Michelle Wie will turn 30 in four months.
Her joints probably feel a lot older.
Since breaking into the golf world’s consciousness shooting 66 as a 13-year-old at the Kraft Nabisco to get into the final Sunday pairing, then wowing PGA Tour pros as a 14-year-old at the Sony Open, Wie has endured more than her share of injuries.
She may only be 29, but she has been playing tour events for 17 years.
All the mileage has taken a toll.
Her wrists, neck, back, hip, knees and ankles have all broken down at some point with the wear and tear.
