Michelle Wie is back in Japan, donating money, promoting her skills, answering questions, speaking Japanese, and being a general good will ambassador for the LPGA tour.
But she isn’t there to play women’s golf, nor paly against the best women in the world. She’s there for the men’s Japan Golf Tour. Michelle Wie will take her chance again at Casio World Open. Again, I say, because last year at this same Casio Open she bogeyed her final two holes to miss the cut by a stroke. So close.
She said in press conference that this year she wishes to “play under par,” which would more than likely get her into the final two rounds of the tournament and thus having her make her second cut in a men’s tournament and second cut on an Asian tour event.
She’s played in 11 men’s tournaments, and at only age 17 she’s got a long and most likely prolific career ahead of herself. Her last 3 men’s tours didn’t turn out so hot, however, so this will be a chance to redeem herself. She dropped out of the John Deere Classic and finished last in both the European Masters and the Lumber Classic.
