Michelle Wie apparently is among the 8,584 people who have applied for an entry to the 2006 US Open at Winged Foot in Mamaroneck, New York. She will be in a local qualifier on May 15 in Hawaii, and if successful there, will go on to another in New Jersey.
Wie is trying to become the first woman to qualify for the US Open.
She still is ruling out a try at the British Open Championship.

I don’t understand why, if Michelle is so hell-bent on competing against the men, she doesn’t attempt to qualify for The Open Championship. The winner gets an exemption to The Masters, one of Michelle’s stated goals. Maybe it’s me, but enough already. Michelle, you’re a phenomenal talent, but please, stick to playing the LPGA Tour.
