Teenager Wie misses another cut
Michelle Wie
Wie said she would work on her swing before the new year
Michelle Wie missed the cut for the 11th time in her 12 appearances on the men's tour, finishing second last in the Casio World Open in Japan.

The American, who hit her worst score (81) in a men's event in the first round, only managed an 80 in round two.

The 17-year-old had six bogeys and a double-bogey in a round she described as "pretty tragic".

However, Wie, who did not make a birdie in either round, said she would continue to compete on the men's tour.

"It doesn't bother me because I know I can play much better than this. I learn a lot from playing with the men," said Wie.

The teenager, who missed the cut by just one shot when she played in the tournament last year, said she would practise hard before her next scheduled men's tournament, the Sony Open on her home island of Oahu in January.

"I know what I have to work on," she said. "I'm looking forward to going home and working on my swing."

Japanese player Tetsuya Haraguchi was the halfway leader after a second-round 68 left him on 10 under.
