Michelle Wie makes cut in Korean men's golf tournament
Saturday, May 6, 2006 U.S. golfer Michelle Wie made the cut yesterday in the 2006 SK Telecom Open in Inchon, South Korea, finishing the second round with a 3-under-par 69 and 5-under-par overall, tying her for 17th overall.
This was Wie's eighth attempt at making it past the halfway point in a men's professional golf tournament. She had played in seven tournaments on the PGA, Canadian, Nationwide, and Japanese tours, failing to make the 36-hole cut in all seven attempts.
The 16-year old golfer from Hawaii became the second woman to accomplish this feat in a Korean men's tournament, after Se Ri Pak made the cut in the 2003 SBS Pro-Golf Championship and went on to finish 10th.
