First-timer: Hull wins in Canada
Honolulu's Michelle Wie, using the last of her six LPGA Tour exemptions this year, tied for 12th at the Canadian Women's Open yesterday with a 3-under 285. She had rounds of 75, 70, 69 and 71.
The 18-year-old Stanford student said she hasn't decided whether to go to Q-school in a bid to earn an LPGA Tour card, but did pocket $36,475 at her final event of the year.
"I feel like I gained a lot of confidence in myself again this year," Wie said. "Being pain-free in the later part of the year, I started feeling confident. From May on, it's getting better and better and now in the offseason, I know what to work on for next year."
