There was emotion aplenty at Pebble Beach on Friday as golf great Michelle Wie West bade farewell to the sport after failing to make the cut at the US Women’s Open
It was perhaps fitting that Wie West, a trailblazer in the women’s game, played this historic event, the first time a women’s major has been held on the famous Californian course. In front of her family and friends, including her three-year-old daughter, the 33-year-old enjoyed a sweet finish, sinking a 30-foot putt for par on the 18th to card 14-over par after two rounds. She missed the cut by eight shots after two consecutive scores of 79.
” “It feels like nothing has changed and everything was changed all at once,” she added. “It’s definitely a strange and surreal feeling.” Playing alongside the American was three-time US Women’s Open winner Annika Sorenstam, another great of the game. Sorenstam, who has not played fulltime since 2008 but received an exemption to play at Pebble Beach, also failed to make the cut and the pair embraced on the 18th.
