Michelle Wie Fails to Qualify for LPGA Tour Card
The Canadian Women’s Open was a pretty good tournament for Michelle Wie, who’s had a roller-coaster of a year. It wasn’t, of course, as good as it was for Katherine Hull, who picked up her first LPGA win at the Open. However, Wie finished a respectable 12th place and earned herself $36,475 for the week’s work.
However, this past week was not nearly enough to qualify Wie for a 2009 LPGA Tour Card, something she’s been quoted as saying she wants. She fell close to $50,000 short in annual winnings from the $110,000 needed to automatically earn a card.
Of course, there’s always Q-School. But, will the 18-year-old Stanford University student be willing to make time in her schedule for the qualifying events?
