after firing a 1 over par 73 in the first round of the PGA's
Legends Reno-Tahoe Open being played at the Montreux Golf and
Country Club in Reno, NV, missed the cut which was even par after 2
rounds. Michelle's opening round 73 had left her in a good position to make
the cut however a double bogey on the 4th hole and a quintuple bogey 9 on
the par 4 8th was too much of an early round deficit to make up. The young
Wie was once again attempting to be the first woman to make the cut in a PGA
event since Babe Zacharias.
