Wie Meltdown? / photo

Michelle Wie attempts to get the ball out of the bunker on the 17th hole.

Michelle Wie's championship hopes just took a major stab on the 17th hole. She hit the right greenside bunker off the tee on the par-3 hole and stayed in the bunker on her firts sand shot. Her third shot barely flew up and out of the trap, leaving her with a tough chip shot for bogey. She missed the chip and settled for a double bogey 5 on the hole. She's now at Even par for the tourney through her first 8 holes today.

Update: Wie has recovered with a birdie on hole number three;; she's at even par for the day and still one-under for the tournament.
