Helen Alfredsson (LPGA Tour - Grand China Air LPGA)
A waist-high net stretches across the back of the driving range at Innisbrook, some 300 yards away, mainly to keep golf balls of some of the biggest hitters from disappearing into a lake that most people don't even know is there. Will MacKenzie was asked how far it was to the water. "I don't know," he said Wednesday.
Michelle Wie has a new agent. The 19-year-old from Hawaii has signed a contract with IMG to manage her career. It was not immediately clear who from IMG would handle her business affairs. Wie signed with the William Morris Agency when she turned pro before her 16th birthday, in part because of the agency's low commission on marketing deals.
The only way Phil Mickelson could advance his ball from underneath a bush on the 12th hole at Doral was to swing from the other side. As is often the case, risk was involved. "I certainly didn't want to have to hit a right-handed shot with the lead," he said. What concerned his caddie was the chance it could hit a palm tree and ricochet into even worse trouble, if not out of bounds.
