Wie ended the tournament with a birdie

Wie, who is the youngest player to take part in a PGA Tour event, followed up her first-round 72 with a 68 to finish on level par in Hawaii.

It left the 14-year-old agonisingly short of the cut-off point - 11 shots behind leader Steve Allan of Australia.

But she did have the consolation of being the only female player to shoot a sub-par round in a PGA Tour event.

Just one more shot and I would have made it - it's killing me now Michelle Wie

Wie was unaware of the fact that she needed an eagle at the par-five 18th hole to make the cut.

Her 140 total beat 48 players in the field, including 11-times tour winner Scott Hoch, last year's Deutsche Bank champion Adam Scott of Australia and 1988 USPGA champion Jeff Sluman.

"I think I played really great today," she said. "Just one more shot and I would have made it - it's killing me now.

"I cannot believe it. I thought I just had to make birdie [on the last]. They said it was 139, and I added 70 and 70 together and was like 'Oh no'."

Northern Ireland's Darren Clarke also made an early exit from the Waialae Country Club after a 69 left him tied in the group with Wie on level par.

Allan fired an eight-under 62 to move into a one-shot lead at the halfway mark on 11 under.

Harrison Frazar is second after a 63, one stroke ahead of defending champion Ernie Els of South Africa, who had a 64.

Birdie putts

Briton Luke Donald is fourth on eight under after recording his second successive 66.

Robert Gamez, Sweden's Jesper Parnevik, Japan's Hideto Tanihara, Pat Bates, Fred Funk, Frank Lickliter II, 2002 champion Jerry Kelly and Paul Azinger share fifth place on 133.

Hawaiian amateur Wie is the third female player to enter a PGA Tour event in the past eight months.

Annika Sorenstam played at the Colonial and Connecticut club pro Suzy Whaley at the Greater Hartford Open, with both players missing the cut.

Despite her ability to drive the ball 300 yards, Wie's long game was far from perfect as she hit just eight fairways and eight greens in regulation.

But her short game was of the highest order as she excelled at pitching, chipping and putting.

She sank two birdie putts of over 50 feet as well as a 17-footer at the par-four 16th, which gave her a realistic chance of making the cut.
