Before Wie teed off on 8, her manager, Greg Nared, approached her, and the two talked briefly. Afterward Wie told an LPGA official, "We're not going to play anymore."
It's not clear whose decision it was to withdraw. During the round Wie wasn't obviously bothered by her wrist, and she looked surprised when Nared approached her on 8. (Nared didn't stick around to answer questions after Wie's press conference.)
Wie says she wasn't thinking about the LPGA's 88 rule, which stipulates that any non-LPGA player (Wie was there on a sponsor's exemption) who doesn't break 88 in a round is not allowed to finish the tournament or play in any other tournaments for the rest of the season. "I don't think about shooting 88," she said. "That's not what I do."
