Michelle Wie falls short of US Open bid
For most of the day it looked as if Michelle Wie would capture a historical spot in the 2006 US Open, but as she would later say, "I guess it wasn't meant to be."
Michelle hung tough for the first three nines before faultering with a very uncharacteristic three consecutive bogeys. While bogeys are expected from us here at the Lounge, it didn't make for a happy day here to find that Michelle had fallen short in her quest.
Sure the hype was overblown (see 4 hours of Golf Channel coverage last night), but this would have been quite a story and a very nice shot in the arm for the entire golf industry.
Whether you agree with Wie's playing in men's events or not, you've got to feel for the kid.
Way to go Michelle... I'm sure you'll be there one day.
