Michelle Wie to Enter Q-School
I wasn’t sure we’d see this, but 18-year-old golfer, Michelle Wie has swallowed her pride and entered the LPGA’s Qualifying School to earn her 2009 LPGA Tour Card. She will compete in the qualifier this month at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California–the same course where she finished fourth at the Kraft Nabisco Championship in 2004 at the age of 13 and rose to national attention.
The top 20 finishers at Mission Hills will advance to a December qualifier in Daytona Beach, where the top 20 will earn an LPGA Tour card. If Wie is unsuccessful at Mission Hills, there is also a qualifier in Florida next month.
Wie, now a student at Stanford University, hasn’t won a tournament since she won the US Women’s Amateur Tournament in 2003. She has been in the spotlight, however, with her repeated attempts to make the cut in a PGA Tour event.
