Michelle Wie West misses cut at USWO, but 'excited' for her life's next chapter

SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. — During her time as a teenage phenom and for many years after, Michelle Wie West was one of the biggest names in golf.

Now her career is one tournament away from being over.

The 32-year-old Wie West shot 5-over 147 through two rounds in the U.S. Women’s Open at Pine Needles, leaving her outside the cut line with the afternoon wave still on the course. She plans to play one more tournament before calling it quits for good — next year’s U.S. Women’s Open at Pebble Beach.

“I’m probably going to let the clubs collect some dust on them for a little bit now,” Wie West said.
