Super-phenom golfer Michelle Wie continued her assault on the record books last week at the Sony Open in Hawaii, carding a 7-over par, 147 through two rounds to miss the cut by four strokes – a record-setting seventh consecutive missed cuts for a female against male pros.

            “Since I was a little girl it has been my goal to do things no other woman has done in the world of golf,” said Wie. “My play here at the Sony Open proved yet again that I’m already doing that. Babe Didrikson Zaharias and Annika Sorenstam never came remotely close to missing seven consecutive PGA cuts, and there’s not even the slightest hint of my streak ending. I think my resume is unmatched.”

            “Michelle is doing some things in the sport of golf that no one has ever done before,” said ‘USA Today’ golf writer Tom Sanders. “When it’s all said and done, people are going to look back at her track record and see those 40 or 50 or so missed cuts on the men’s tour and just be blown away. It’s really amazing that she can come out on the PGA Tour all the time and consistently put up these numbers. That kind of consistency and longevity – especially by a female golfer competing against men – is unheard of. Most people would say: ‘Hey, I’ve done enough’ and step away. But not Michelle.”

            The 16-year old’s latest accomplishment at the Sony Open has only enhanced her legend.

            “I opened on Thursday with a 79 for dead-last which pretty much guaranteed I’d continue my streak,” she said. “Friday I put up a 68 somehow, but I was never worried because I wasn’t even remotely close to making the cut.”

Despite the fact that she has yet to win a single event on the women’s tour, or beat the better female golfers in her own age group, such as Morgan Pressel and Paula Creamer, Wie has long claimed she wants to measure her game against the best players in the world.

            “I feel if I can get used to losing to men, it will make it that much easier for me to lose to women,” said Wie. “Losing and repeatedly imploding when the pressure is on is a learned habit, and there’s no better place for me to learn than putting my game up against the best players in the world.”

            Wie will extend her streak to an unprecedented eight consecutive cuts missed by a women later this year at the Casio World Open, a Japan Tour men’s event she has missed the cut at once already, but whose organizers still extended her a sponsor’s exemption spot after her missed cut last weekend.

            And not only has Wie proven she can repeatedly miss cuts on the PGA Tour like no other female golfer before her, but she has become accepted by the Tour regulars.

            “I love having her out there competing,” said Rocco Mediate. “Anytime I see that she’s received an exemption for a tournament, I immediately sign up for it because I know I have one less person to beat as far as making the cut and placing in the money. I wish she played in every event.”
