Michelle Takes on John Deere Classic in 2006
16-year-old Michelle we will have another crack at beating the men this year at the John Deere classic. This is the fifth time the young golfer has attempted to beat the men of the PGA. Last time she played in the John Deere classic she missed the cut only by two coming in one under par at 141.
No doubt Michelle Wie’s participation in this year’s John Deere classic will bring no more spectators and generate more money for the tournament itself. No woman has made the cut in a PGA event since 1945 when Babe Zaharias did it. 60 years is a big gap in the world of professional golf. Michelle will eventually make the cut at a PGA tournament, it’s just a matter of time. Now whether she can win that’s another story.
