IT’S JUST GOLF, BUT STILL A FIRST

Michelle Wie was tied for 17th at a five-under-par 139 after two rounds, on the Asian Tour's SK Telecom Open. She shot a three-under 69 Friday to make the cut by five strokes.

No female has made the cut on the PGA Tour since Babe Zaharias at the 1945 Tucson Open.

The SK Telecom Open is the eighth men's pro event for Wie, who has played in four PGA Tour events and has competed on the Japan, Nationwide and Canadian tours, missing the 36-hole cut in all seven tournaments.

She also draws 1000 people a hole to watch, and is cheered on as “Big Sister.”
