Golf Sports Blog > PGA: Wie misses cut after double bogey with four to play

http://www.podcastfmsports.com [ PodcastFMSports.com - Sports Blog] On the next hole, #7, Wie hit an iron off the tee that ended up right of the hole just past the golf cart path, requiring a drop that would end in bogey. Despite a valiant effort to try and make back-to-back birdies on the final two holes, which she came relatively close to doing after almost making tough birdie shots on #8 and #9, Wie finished with an even par for the round and a 1-under for the tournament, missing the cut by only two strokes.

They drove John Daly so mental that he actually hit his moving ball in frustration after twice failing to putt his ball onto the 8th green.
