Wie misses cut at Canadian Open

Honolulu's Michelle Wie missed the cut at this week's CN Canadian Open despite shooting a 2-under 69 in yesterday's second round of the LPGA event.

Wie tied for 90th, two shots removed from the cut of 1-over 143. It was the first missed cut for Wie this year.

The Punahou School graduate carded one bogey and three birdies for her round, including one at the par-5 18th. Wie hit 10 of 14 fairways and 11 greens in regulation, averaging 280 yards off the tee. She needed only 27 putts.

The Stanford University sophomore will return to school in three weeks.
