Michelle Wie feels ill, pulls out of Evian pro-am


Michelle Wie suffered heat exhaustion during the pro-am of the Evian Masters in France today and retired before the end of the round. But she is expected to play in the first round of the tournament tomorrow.
Wie went to see a doctor after playing in 90-degree temperatures, a tournament official said.
"She didn't feel faint," press officer Olivia Payerne told The Associated Press. "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 John Deere Classic in Silvis, Illinoisand spent a few hours in a hospital.
