A lot of drive for Wie

 •  Wie takes major step

Advertiser Staff

Michelle Wie outdrove the field on average during the four days of the Kraft Nabisco Championship.

Wie's average was 286.2 yards on the Mission Hills Country Club course. Annika Sorenstam was second with a 280.4 average, according to statistics provided by the LPGA.

Sorenstam, however, had the top drive average yesterday at 297.5. Wie's was 293.5.

The drives are measured at two holes each day during the tournament.

Not all golfers go for distance in their drives, opting for placement instead.
