Wie Misses Cut In Men’s Tourney For 8th Time

Michelle Wie failed in her eighth attempt to make the cut on the men's PGA Tour, shooting a second-round 80 at the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open on Friday in Nevada.
Parker McLachlin tied the course record with a 62 to take the lead into the clubhouse at 14 under par.
Wie was 1 over par 73 Thursday as she attempted to become the first woman since Babe Zaharias, in 1945, to make the cut on the PGA Tour.
But a quintuple-bogey nine Friday helped push her to 9-over 153 at the par-72 Montreux Golf and Country Club.
The 18-year-old, who was making her first PGA appearance since January 2007, had two bogeys and one birdie through her first nine holes and was within striking distance of a cut line that was hovering around even par with several golfers still on the 7,472-yard mountain course.

What’s that saying, something about third time lucky?
