BLUE BAY LPGA


October 23, 2014


Michelle Wie West


HAINAN ISLAND, CHINA

Q.  So feeling good, birdie on 18 had to feel good.
MICHELLE WIE:  Yeah, it felt really good.  I missed a short one for birdie on 15.  Missed a couple of birdie chances coming in.  It always feels good when the ball kind of circles the hole 360 and ends up going in.  It was a fun round today.

Q.  Was that a big relief?
MICHELLE WIE:  Yeah, just kind of like 4‑under for a long time and then wanted to go 5‑under, missed a couple opportunities.  So, yeah, it's great to shoot 67 in the first round and see what I can do coming in.

Q.  Any highlights on the other birdies?
MICHELLE WIE:  Not really.  I had a couple good par saves today, quite handy dandy.

Q.  Anything on the course?  Conditions were pretty easy.  Rained a little bit?
MICHELLE WIE:  Definitely this course plays easier when there's not much wind.  I think that definitely makes a huge difference.

Q.  You said you've been working on the short game and the touch.  Greens were a little soft.
MICHELLE WIE:  Yeah, it was fun, because I feel like the ball kind of sits up with this type of grass and I felt like I was hitting flop shots all day.  It was kind of fun.  I was just blasting them away.
Definitely you have to hit to the right parts.

Q.  Terrific three‑ball playing with Shanshan and Lydia Ko.
MICHELLE WIE:  It was great.  A lot of fun today.

Q.  Off to practice this afternoon?  It's hot out there.
MICHELLE WIE:  No, I'm done.  I'm going back to the A/C.
