Wie Qualifies for LPGA Tour
Surrounded by supporters, female golf phenom Michelle Wie finished LPGA Q-school yesterday with a par on the 90th hole, closing with a 2-over-par 74 and a total of 12-under 348, tying for seventh place and guaranteeing herself LPGA Tour playing privileges for 2009.
Though the most talked-about contender, Wie was just one of 20 players who gained full playing status at LPGA International. Others included former NCAA champion Stacy Lewis, who shot a final-round 69 to finish at 342, earning medalist honors, and LPGA event first-timer and Yale University grad Jeehae Lee.
