Teenager shoots 74 in second round

HONOLULU (Jan. 14) -- It's back to school for Michelle Wie.
The 15-year-old sophomore never had a chance to make the cut Friday in the Sony Open, taking three putts from 8 feet for a triple bogey on her sixth hole and losing more ground from there. She shot a 4-over 74 to finish 17 shots behind Shigeki Maruyama, and seven shots below the cut line.
"I think I tried too hard," Wie said. "After missing the cut by one last year, I think I took for granted that I was going to play better. Last year, everything went too easily."
Most girls her age don't mind having a weekend off. Wie had grandiose plans.
She was trying to become the first female in 60 years to make the cut on the PGA Tour, and had high hopes after missing by one shot last year. If everything went perfect, she thought she could finish in the top 20.
Wie had to settle for a tie with European Ryder Cup player Paul Casey at 9-over 149. She wound up tied for 128th place, still better than 14 other men.
Her mother brushed dried streaks of tears from her cheeks, and a box of tissue was at her feet after two emotionally draining days on the PGA Tour.
"I'm going for some retail therapy," Wie said, a teenager's term for shopping.
Maruyama holed a bunker shot for eagle on the par-5 ninth for a 65, giving him a one-shot lead over Justin Rose and Brett Quigley going into a weekend at Waialae Country Club that will be missing its biggest star.
Another huge gallery had little reason to cheer.
Wie picked up her first birdie with an 8-foot putt on the 10th hole, but by then it was too late. There was no drama like last year, when she birdied two of her last three holes for a 68 to miss the cut by one shot.
Her lengthy stride gave way to slumped shoulders, and Wie stared at the turf after each shot missed the green.
The only consolation was her finish.
She hit a wedge into 10 feet and holed the putt for birdie, then walked off the 18th green with a rare smile.
ESPN, which stayed with her until the conclusion of her round last year, this time switched to an NBA game after Wie made her third bogey in four holes at the par-4 16th.
Wie goes back to the Punahou School, but not for long. She will return to professional ranks next month on the LPGA Tour for the SBS Open across the island at Turtle Bay, then play twice more on the LPGA before spring break.
As for next year?
"I want another chance because I know I can do better than this," Wie said.
Two-time defending champion Ernie Els believes Wie should get another sponsor's exemption to the Sony Open.
"That is not throwing an invite away," he said. "It's phenomenal what she is doing for the game."
Maruyama made it look easy, jumping into contention by playing a three-hole stretch around the turn in 4 under par - an 8-iron to 3 feet on the eighth, holing the bunker shot for eagle on the par-5 ninth, and making a 20-foot birdie on the 10th. He held it together the rest of the way and was at 8-under 132.
"I was worried about my game, first tournament of the year," he said. "I'm not nervous now."
Quigley (67) was tied for the lead until missing the green on No. 16 for a bogey. Rose holed out from a bunker on the brutal first hole for birdie, but gave that shot away by missing the par-5 ninth with a 7-iron and settling for par. Still, the 24-year-old Englishman will be in the last group Saturday.
And the tournament still has some familiar faces.
Past champions Paul Azinger and Jeff Sluman, each with 68, were in the large group at 5-under 135 that included Ryder Cup captain Tom Lehman (68) and Stewart Cink (69).
Other familiar faces included Vijay Singh, the No. 1 player who salvaged a suspect round with a 30-foot eagle putt on his last hole for a 68, putting him five shots off the lead. Els hit the ball close all day and had to settle for a 67, leaving him another shot behind.
"That could have been a 60, I promise you," Els said.
Other familiar faces had some wrinkles, as all four Champions Tour players made the cut - Peter Jacobsen, Craig Stadler, Tom Kite and Dick Mast, who qualified Monday and shot 64, leaving him six shots behind.
Adam Scott shot 65 to move into contention at 4-under 136. It also put him well ahead of a certain 15-year-old.
No one got ridiculed quite like Scott a year ago. His swing coach, Butch Harmon, routinely plastered photos of Wie inside of his locker the rest of the year.
Does he expected a call from Harmon?
"He should be congratulating me, really," Scott said. "The amount of (stuff) he gave me last year, I'd be disappointed if he didn't. I've squared it up, 1-1."
Wie was hopeful of not going 0-for-2 on the PGA Tour, although she put herself in a tough spot by making only one birdie in the first-round 75. She needed a 67 to make the cut, but never came close.
Wie hung in nicely, saving par on four of the first five holes with a collection of good chips and putts.
But it all came undone on No. 6 when she missed her first fairway of the second round, into the right rough and blocked slightly by tall, skinny palms.
First, she tried to play a low hook around the trees and never got back to the short grass. Her wedge with a third shot came up just short, and she had to chip over a knoll. Needing an 8-footer to make bogey, she ran the putt some 4 feet by, then lipped out to take 7.
Wie stared blankly, and the shock was evident.
After missing good birdies chances on the next three holes, she made the turn at 8 over par, in a tie for 125th. After her birdie on the 10th, she started missing greens and the par putts got longer.
"The shoes get heavier and your confidence goes down," Wie said. "When I made a couple of bogeys, that's when you know it's not your day."
