It's a story line the LPGA Tour has to love.
Michelle Wie, the 20-year-old former prodigy finally playing to her potential, versus Juli Inkster, the 50-year-old Hall of Famer hoping to become the oldest player to win on the tour.
"It's going to be like Beauty and the Beast out there," Inkster said. "I don't have the pretty swing or whatever. I just try to get the ball in the hole."
The stage is set for a fantastic finish Sunday at the Northwest Arkansas Championship. Wie shot a 7-under 64 on Saturday -- playing her first nine holes in 7-under 28 -- to take a three-stroke lead over Inkster (66), Yani Tseng (68) and Na Yeon Choi (68). Tseng, a two-time major winner this year, also will be in the final group.
