The 21-year old Stanford senior, who returns to school tomorrow, is in fourth place going into the final round of the LPGA’s first major. At 6-under 210, she trails defending champion Yani Tseng (66)<\/strong> by six shots and Stacy Lewis (71) by four.<\/p>\n

Wie<\/strong> will play the final round with 2007 Kraft champion Morgan Pressel, who is in third place at 208 after a 69 yesterday.<\/p>\n

The young Americans \u2014 Pressel is 22 \u2014 are both among the top 15 in the Rolex World Rankings and have become good friends after a rocky start. They will draw a crowd today, filled with retirees, little girls and guys in T-shirts that read Honolulu Police Department, Hanalei, Maui, Hapa and Outrigger Canoe Club, just as Wie did yesterday.<\/p>\n

And they will put on a show, one way or another.<\/p>\n

“Michelle is a show,” said her agent, Nickole Raymond. “I’m not a professional golfer by any means and I don’t claim to understand golf on a level most people around here do, but she’ll hit a ball 30 yards right, into the rough, behind three trees and she’ll get out with some sort of wedge and make an amazing, absurd shot within 2 feet of the pin. That’s why you go watch her \u2014 because when she gets put up against the wall, a lot of times she’ll come out with an amazing thing and you’re just like ‘How in the world?’ ”<\/p>\n

Tseng<\/strong>, the top-ranked female golfer in the world, overtook Lewis, who led the first two days, with the day’s best round. Wie had Friday’s low score \u2014 67 \u2014 to burst into contention after an opening-round 74 that was simply survival golf.
