Michelle Wie Misses the Cut at the Casio World Open

MIchelle Wie had high hopes of making the cut this weekend at the Casio World Open in Japan. But those aspirations fell short today as she tumbled even further behind the field of men shooting an 8-over par, 80.

That combined with Michelle’s 9-over par shoot yesterday put her at 17 over par for the two rounds of golf. A massive 27 strokes behind the leader of the tournament.

This was Michelle Wie’s 12th start against the men, in which she has made the cut once while playing a tournament this year in South Korea. Michelle Wie finished second to last to second round finishers in this tournament, just edging out her nearest competitor who had an 18-over par.

MIchelle looks to take on the men again saying that she “didn’t play like myself today and it doesn’t bother me because I know I can play much better than this. I learn a lot from playing with the men.” Her next men’s tournament will be the 2007 Sony Open in Hawaii where she lives. That’s a PGA event that usually sees the likes of Stuart Appleby and Vijay Singh, amongst others.
