Wie trails Rosales by five strokes in LPGA tour opener KAHUKU, Hawaii (AP) – Michelle Wie shot a second straight 2-under 70 to trail leader Jennifer Rosales by five strokes heading into the final round of the LPGA Tour’s season-opening SBS Open.
The 15-year-old Wie, playing on her home island of Oahu, was tied for fifth at 4-under 140 and was one of the early starters who were forced to deal with intermittent showers and ocean winds whipping up to 20 mph.
Rosales, the first-round leader, had four bogeys and seven birdies in a wild round of 69 that moved her to 9-under 135. She managed to keep the lead with four birdies in the last five holes.
Wie’s playing partner, Reilley Rankin, had a 66 and was second at 7-under 137.
Cristie Kerr (68) was three strokes off the pace at 138, and LPGA veteran Rosie Jones shot a second-round 69 and was at 139.
Chrysler Classic
TUCSON, Ariz. – Mark Calcavecchia made a 50-foot eagle putt on the next-to-last hole to vault over Billy Mayfair and into the lead of the Chrysler Classic of Tucson at 15-under 129.

Gavin Coles, Aussie Geoff Ogilvy and Lucas Glover were two shots off the pace after shooting 65, 66 and 67, respectively.
Kevin Sutherland shot a 63 and joined Doug Barron, Esteban Toledo, Joe Ogilvie and Steve Stricker at 132.
