Wie into the Quarterfinals at USAPL
Wie defeated her third round opponent Jim Renner 3 and 1 at the US Amateur Public Links Championship at Shaker Run in Lebanon, Ohio. Thus, Wie is only 3 wins away from a Masters appearance.
Wie played very well and for the second match in a row, she never trailed. Wie was 1-under par through the 17 holes, which included a double bogey 5 on the 214 yard 5th hole.
Wie will play Clay Ogden, a junior at BYU, in her quarterfinal match.
In an interview with ESPN.com, Ogden said, “I was kind of joking and I actually said that I hoped I play her, . . . And here we go.” It’ll be an interesting match.
The quarterfinals and semifinals are on Friday and the 36 hole finals are on Saturday.
