Michelle Wie

WIE HAPPY WITH OPENING ROUND

Michelle Wie shot a four-under 68 in the first round of the German women's Open at Golfpark Gut Hausern in Munich.

The 18-year old American finished four strokes behind the early leader Nina Reis of Sweden. Britain's Lora Fairclough shot 66 with compatriot Natalie Booth on 67.

Wie birdied three of her first five holes but failed to take advantage on the par fives. She birdied the par-four 17th coming in.

"I would take another three-under-par on the first five holes any day," said Wie, who added that she feels she has lost some of her length since hurting her wrist last year.

"I'm still in the rehab process just really building up to what I had before. It's definitely on the right track.

"I felt like I played really well but I felt like I left a couple out there as well, especially on the par fives.

"I think overall I'm pretty happy with how I played. I played consistently. It just has to get better each and every day."

The event is the first on the women's European Tour to be held in Germany in seven years.

New Zealander Michael Campbell

QUALIFYING HIT BY WITHDRAWALS

More than 20 European Tour players have now pulled out of Monday's 36-hole US Open qualifier at Walton Heath.

It is the route used by New Zealander Michael Campbell when he won his first major title three years ago, but since the introduction of the event that season it has always suffered from a large number of withdrawals.

Among those who have decided to skip the chance to compete in the second major of the year are Darren Clarke, former Open champion Paul Lawrie, recent Irish Open and Spanish Open winners Richard Finch and Peter Lawrie and Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell, currently 10th in the Ryder Cup race.

Clarke made his decision two weeks ago, saying: "My schedule is firmly based around Europe and my goal is to make the Ryder Cup team."

He and others feel that a trip out to California if they made it through the qualifier was not going to benefit them in the coming weeks.

Just over a week ago a total of 76 players were listed for the qualifier, but that is now down to 50 and organisers could well be asking golfers in America who just failed at local qualifying level if they fancy filling the gaps in Surrey.

Around nine places at Torrey Pines will be on offer, so there is now a great chance for the likes of 19-year-old Rory McIlroy and Dubliner Paul McGinley to get there.

For McIlroy, top amateur at last year's Open, it would be a first major in America.

The field also includes one amateur in twice British champion Gary Wolstenholme - he lost a play-off to Phillip Archer two years ago - but Danny Willett's decision to turn professional last week means he cannot now take part.

Miguel Angel Jimenez, Oliver Wilson, Robert Karlsson and Martin Kaymer no longer need to be there after earning exemptions at last week's BMW PGA Championship.

Australian Scott Strange,

STRANGE STILL IN COMMAND

Australian Scott Strange, a complete stranger to the vast majority of golf fans in Europe, remains in control of the Wales Open with a day to go at Celtic Manor.

Strange, whose best Tour finish on European soil before this week was 10th, has led since an opening 63 and after being four clear at halfway is now three ahead after a third-round 69.

Rookie Spaniard Alvaro Velasco, no household name himself at world number 305, lies second on 12 under following a 68, while a stroke further back are Indian Jeev Milkha Singh, Frenchman Raphael Jacquelin and in-form Swede Robert Karlsson.

England's Nick Dougherty believes he is back on course to earn a Ryder Cup debut in September after he returned a 67 to move up to 10 under and joint sixth place. While a third Tour victory is still a tall order he is delighted with how he is playing just a month after the death of his mother.

"I feel a lot better after these three days," he said.

"Things have been going on off the course with the loss in our family, but I'm optimistic again.

"I was starting to get worried about the state of my game, but I played awesome today and it's so long since I played that freely."

Part of the possible reason for that, the 26-year-old from Liverpool believes, was a decision not to look at leaderboards, but he hopes there will be a stage late on in the final round when there is a need to know.

Dougherty will be at the US Open the week after next and looking for at least a repeat of last year when he led after the opening day, coped well when paired with Tiger Woods in the third round and finished seventh.

Exempt for Torrey Pines because of that, he admits he is surprised by more than 20 players pulling out of Monday's qualifier at Walton Heath.

"Everybody has their own plans, but I've always wanted to play in a major and I remember the feeling of euphoria when I got through there for my first major."

Darren Clarke is among those who has decided not to try to qualify, preferring to stay in Europe as he too bids for a Ryder Cup spot.

The Ulsterman also shot 67 to be on eight under, but Colin Montgomerie is still struggling to find his best form and a 73 dropped him from 18th to 46th and out of it at three under.

Strange, 164th on the world rankings, did what he had to do, picking off birdies at three of the par fives and hitting back from a bogey on the short third with a superb approach to four feet at the 461-yard next.

Another dropped shot at the driveable par-four 15th gave the chasing pack more hope, though, as will the fact that he covered the last seven holes in one over when presented with a chance to put one hand on the trophy.

Karlsson, the 2006 champion, has finished third in each of the last three tournaments, but will be desperately keen to do better than that after three-putting the final green from three feet in the BMW PGA Championship last Sunday when a birdie would have put him in a play-off.
