No US Open for Michelle Wie
 |
Sean Hackbarth | Monday, June 5, 2006 |
Michelle Wie’s attempt at qualifying for the men’s U.S. Open fell short:
Three consecutive bogeys sent her to a three-over 75 and into the middle of the qualifying pack at Summit, New Jersey today (AEST).
Wie opened with a 68 on the easier South course, and still had a chance to get one of 18 spots available to the 153-player field at Canoe Brook when she strode confidently to the back nine.
Needing at least one birdie to have a chance, her inability to master the greens finally caught up with her.
She finished at one-over 143 and ultimately didn’t come close.
The girl’s only 16. She’ll make it one of these years.
