Wie finishes 35th in SK Telecom Open
Monday, May 8th, 2006Michelle’s bid to be at the top of leaderboard against the men was thwarted by strong winds on Saturday and Sunday at the SK telecom open. Michelle still matched the men in 300 yard drives, but her accuracy did not match the previous Thursday and Friday rounds. Wie finished tied for 35th with a combined three-under-par 213, 12 shots behind winner Prom Meesawat of Thailand.
Michelle should not feel bad at all. She became the first woman to make a men’s tournament cut in over 45 years, and she clearly showed that on good days she can compete against the men. Give her a few more years of experience and she will be a contender, someone who will routinely give the men a run for their money.
