HARRISON, N.Y. – Michelle Wie limped out of the scoring area Friday at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship after a closing birdie helped to soothe her ailing left hip.
Wie birdied two of the last four holes in a rally that looked like it would assure she makes the cut and gets to play the weekend. She shot a 1-under-par 72, leaving her at 147, which was right on the cut number with the afternoon wave out.
Wie, 25, has been playing this week with a significantly narrowed stance designed to relieve the strain she puts on her left hip, which is riddled with bursitis.
