\"MichelleThe PGA.com title nailed it: Ow-Wie!<\/a> Amateur teen sensation Michelle Wie was anything but sensational in her 5-over opening round 75. Her round, which featured only one birdie, had one up side. “At least I’m not in last place,” Wie joked. True: at least a dozen PGA Tour players finished worse than +5.<\/p>\n

In other words, Wie’s efforts to make the cut will, most likely, keep her short of her goal. Wie remains optimistic, however, saying “I think if I shoot under par tomorrow, if I end up at like 1-over-par, maybe I’ll make it.”<\/p>\n

Waialae Country Club played tough in Thursday’s round with winds gusting up to 25 MPH. The breezy conditions frustrated some of the game’s best: Ernie Els shot his first above-par round (71) in 17 rounds at Waialae. Vijay Singh finished with a bogey on the par-5 18th to shoot -1 69. Singh, who made some comments last year regarding Wie, snuck out this year by saying only “It’s tough for the boys over here, you know? Going to be tough for a girl here, too.”
\n
\nWie shot 72-68 last year to miss the cut by one at even par. Wie’s playing partners – Matt Davidson and Brett Wetterich – finished at 77 and 70, respectively. Let us be the first to say it: Matt Davidson got beat by a girl. Neener neener. Wie’s round, according to ShotLink, included some interesting moments:<\/p>\n

\"Wie<\/p>\n

The hole’s the other way, Michelle!*<\/sup><\/p>\n

Sharing the first round lead at -4 (66) are a quintent of players: Stewart Cink, Brett Quigley, Tom Byrum, and Hank Kuehne (whom I was this<\/em> close to taking in fantasy golf this week).<\/p>\n

*<\/sup> Yes, we’re fairly certain this is a ShotLink gaffe, not a horribly misread putt on Michelle’s part.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
