Oooh Wie, 1st!
It just keeps getting better. Amateur golfer Michelle Wie tied for first place yesterday in the men's US Amateur Public Links sectional tournament in Pennsylvania. She thus qualified for a spot in national tournament where the winner goes on to the mens' Professional Golfer Association's Masters tournament.
Wie is the first female to be first in a sectional tournament and, of course, should she win the national amateur mens' public links tournament, she would be the first women, as far as I know, to play in the Masters.
But, that's a big step away and even Wie would be cautious in
saying playing in the Masters is a dream that may be just out
of reach. For now. Still, in her short 15 years, she has done
more than most men people do in their lifetimes.
