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 …read more

Michelle Wie, playing on a sponsor’s exemption at the PGA Reno-Tahoe Legends Open, failed to make the cut in this her 8th attempt in a PGA tournament. Wie finished the first round in contention with a +1 73, but ended the second round at +9, aided by a double bogey and a quintuple bogey. Wie told the Associated Press that she didn’t know if she’d make another attempt at a PGA event.
No woman has made the cut in a PGA tournament since “Babe” Zacharias played the 1945 Tuscon Open.

Michelle Wie may be having trouble over at the LPGA Tour. She was disqualified in last week’s State Farm Classic and without a top-three finish in August’s CN Canadian Women’s Open, she is likely heading back to qualifying school. However, none of that is stopping the 18-year-old from testing her skills against the gentlemen of the PGA Tour–again.
Wie has secured a sponsor’s exemption to for the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open in Reno, beginning July 31. That’s the same week as the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, where most of the top players will be competing. This is the 8th time that …read more

In case you weren’t watching, Kim Welch beat out French golfer, Sophie Sandolo to win the Golf Channel’s “Big Break Kaanapali” reality golf competition. The prize package isn’t too shabby, possibly worth putting up with all of the cattiness this season.
Welsh wins entry into the 2008 Navistar LPGA Classic, which is being held in Prattville, Alabama September 25-28. She also gets a 2009 Futures Tour Card with all of the entry fees waived, a 2008 BMW Z4 coupe, and an Adams Golf endorsement that includes $10,000 in cash.

Paula Creamer went wire-to-wire to win the LPGA’s Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic, played just outside of Toledo this past weekend. Creamer broke the tournament record on Thursday with an 11 under.
This is Creamer’s 7th career win and her third win this year. It is especially appropriate for the 21-year-old, California native to win the Jamie Farr since she represents Owens Corning in their advertisements and is known for her pink apparel, golf balls, and golf accessories. (Pink is the color of Owens Corning insulation.) She is pictured above with the Pink Panther, another Owens Corning spokesman.

Michelle Wie either plays sensational golf or very mediocre golf; she’s never in the middle of the pack. Last week, it was the later as she missed the cut in the LPGA Open Championship, aided by a quintuple bogey.
Wie needs to really step up her game if she’s going to keep her tour card for 2009. According to ESPN, she needs to finish in the top 10 of the eight remaining events in which she intends to compete. As for “Q” school: 18-year-old Wie says that it would conflict with her studies at Stanford. Time will tell.
