OTTAWA—Golf star Michelle Wie thanked staff at the Ottawa Hospital on social media after undergoing surgery to remove her appendix. The 27-year old was competing at the CP Women’s Open at Ottawa Golf and Hunt Club, but withdrew before Sunday’s final round and was admitted to hospital. Been a scary 24 hrs but I just wanna thank the medical staff here in Ottawa for making me feel comfortable!” Wie posted Monday on Twitter, along with a picture of her giving a thumbs-up gesture from her hospital bed. About an hour later she posted a short video of her first postsurgery meal — a glazed doughnut. Ranked 30th in the world, Wie tied for third in the Women’s British Open and has seven top-10 finishes this season.
