WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A row between the world’s two best known women golfers is raising the temperature for this week’s LPGA Championship, with Annika Sorenstam saying Michelle Wie lacked class in dealing with a wrist injury.

Former world number one Sorenstam took issue with a decision by teenager Wie to withdraw from a tournament last week when she was 14 over par, citing a wrist injury, only to practice two days later.

“I just feel there’s a little bit of a lack of respect and class just to leave a tournament like that and then come out and practice here,” Sorenstam told a news conference.

Wie was 16 holes into the opening round of last week’s tournament in North Carolina week when she pulled out, complaining of a wrist injury that had kept her from playing since January.

Two days later, the 17-year-old, who recently graduated from high school, was practicing at the Bulle Rock Golf Course in Maryland, the site of the LPGA Championship starting on Thursday.

Wie, who is not a member of the women’s tour and has played courtesy of sponsors’ exemptions, including in men’s events, refused to back down.

“I don’t think I need to apologize for anything,” she said. “I just have to take care of my body and mover forward and only think of positive things.”

I am planning on traveling south on I-95 to play some random golf courses that wont break the bank. There are 2 of us making this venture starting March 5 and ending March 10th. I do not feel like driving south of north carolina. We are leaving from Philadelphia. I also do not want to venture too far off of 95.
