Wie bound for Germany

GolfMichelle Wie will play her first event on the Ladies European Tour when she takes part in this week's German Open.

The 18-year-old has been suffering with long-term wrist problems and the upcoming Munich event will only be her third tournament of the year so far, after two events on the US tour.

Wie is not currently a member of any tour and for now is just concentrating on getting back to full fitness and finding some form having been given a sponsor's invite this week.

The teenager revealed: "I feel a lot healthier and I want to start playing more and playing some good golf.

"My goal is just to have fun and keep my head on straight and shoot some low scores. I've never played in Germany before.

"All the players seem really fun and have really welcomed me."
