Wie falls off pace at Navistar LPGA

Honolulu's Michelle Wie didn't do enough on moving day thanks to a pedestrian 72—208 in yesterday's third round of the Navistar LPGA Classic played in Prattville, Ala.

Wie ended her second round on Friday two shots behind several talented golfers, including Ochoa. But while the world's best took moving day to heart, Wie did not. The Punahou School graduate dropped into a tie for 13th, eight shots behind Ochoa (66), who has a three-shot advantage at 16-under 200. Wie opened with a sizzling 6-under 66 on Thursday, but is only 2 under par over her last 36 holes.
