Michelle Wie, using the last of her six LPGA exemptions this year, tied for 12th at 3 under. She had rounds of 75, 70, 69 and 71.The 18-year-old Stanford student said she still has to make up her mind whether to go to the LPGA Tour Qualifying School in a bid to earn an LPGA card.

“I feel like I gained a lot of confidence in myself again this year,” Wie said. “Being pain-free in the later part of the year, I started feeling confident. From May on, it’s getting better and better and now in the off-season, I know what to work on for next year.”
