Wie treated for heat exhaustion during pro-am at Evian Masters

Michelle Wie suffered heat exhaustion during the pro-am of the Evian Masters on Wednesday but is expected to play in the first round of the tournament. Wie went to see a doctor after playing in 90-degree temperatures, said an official at the tournament, which is co-sanctioned by the LPGA Tour and the Ladies European Tour. “She didn’t feel faint,” Press Officer Olivia Payerne said. “This is nothing serious. She went to see a doctor and everything is fine. She will start (Thursday) as expected.” Top-ranked Ai Miyazato of Japan returns to defend the title she won in a playoff against Sophie Gustafson. Wie tied for 23rd last year. In 2006, Wie succumbed to heat exhaustion at the PGA Tour’s John Deere Classic in Silvis, Ill., and spent a few hours in a hospital.
