Michele Wie's lips are sealed until the
last putt drops at LPGA Q School

Fallen star Michele Wie says she will not give any interviews until the last putt drops in this week's LPGA Qualifying School.
The 19-year-old from Hawaii, still a student at Stanford University, California, is thus continuing the no-talk policy she adhered to at the Sectional qualifiying in September.
Wie worked out with coach David Leadbetter last week at ChampionsGate.
The LPGA Tour are prepared for her presence to be a crowd-puller. They have added grandstands behind the 18th green on the Legends Course.
The goal for Wie and every other hopeful in the field of 140 this week is to finish in the top 20 to earn Priority Status in Category 11.
Anna Nordqvist, the Swedish holder of the British women's open amateur championship, is one of the contenders. She says she is ready to quite Arizona State University if she gains an LPGA Tour card.
One thing's certain. Nordqvist has played a lot more competitive golf than Wie who has not marked a card in tournament play since September.
