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.
