Michelle Wie May Have Competition at the Sony Open

This Honolulu Advertiser Story was picked up by SI.com about a possible Michelle Wie Part II. Another young female from Honolulu will be trying to make it through the Sony Open Local Qualifyer at the Makaha Country Club on Oahu, 16-year-old Ayaka Kaneko . Although we aren’t sure about her marketability, if Ayaka makes it into the Open at Waialae Michelle might have a little added pressure to make the cute.

Move over, Michelle. You might have female company in the Sony Open in Hawai’i next January. Michelle Wie, Hawai’i’s teen golf phenom, has received an exemption for her fourth try in making the cut in the PGA Tour event at the Waialae Country Club. Ayaka Kaneko, 16, will enter the Monday qualifying on Jan. 8 at the Makaha Resort Golf Club. Kaneko hasn’t played Makaha yet, but she hopes to do so soon, and often, in the next six weeks.
