Wi takes lead

| | Comments (0) |

Charlie Wi has won nine professional tournaments, but none have been on the PGA Tour. He's off to a good start in the Honda Classic, with a 5-under 65 and a one-shot lead after the first round.
Here's the funniest part. He recalled a story about how someone thought he was related to Michelle Wie at a tournament a couple of years ago, even though there's no 'e' on the end of his name.
"My caddie overheard one of the spectators saying, 'Oh, that's Michelle Wie's dad. He got a sponsor invite, too,'" said Wi. "I thought that was hilarious."
