NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. >> Michelle Wie shot a 9-over 81, including birdies on the 16th and 17th, in the Asahi Ryokuken International yesterday.

Wie, playing on a sponsor exemption, missed the cut in the season-opening Takefuji Classic with rounds of 72 and 74 after becoming the youngest Monday qualifier in tour history.

"After I hit my first shot, I had shakiness for about 10 minutes," said Wie, a Punahou seventh-grader who is 14 strokes behind leader Laura Davies after yesterday's opening round.
