Wie preparing for life at Stanford, with parents nearby

Associated Press

Hawaii's Michelle Wie already has played her first round at Stanford — but not for Stanford.

According to Golf Digest's web site, the 18-year-old played nine holes yesterday at Stanford University Golf Course, accompanied by her parents. Freshman were to check in Tuesday, with classes starting next week.

Golf Digest also reported that while Wie is required to live in a dormitory on campus — a rule for all freshmen — her parents have rented a house nearby. Wie cannot play for the Cardinal because she turned pro two years ago, although she will be allowed to use the course and the practice facilities.
