Michelle Wie shot a 3-over-par 76 in Thursday’s start of the Pure Silk Bahamas Classic playing her final 12 holes after being stung by a bee in the palm of her right hand.
Wie said she was waiting on the 16th tee, her seventh hole of the day, when she felt a sharp pain.
“It hurt really, really bad, and I knew it was a bee,” Wie said. “I brushed it away and the stinger was still in there.”
Wie said one of the tour’s security personnel came out with a tweezers and she used it to pull out the stinger.
