Wie enters qualifying for Women's Open (AP)

Michelle Wie was among 1,236 players who have entered the U.S. Women's Open, the first time she will go through open qualifying for a major since she was in the eighth grade. The USGA released the list of approved entries Thursday. It was the fifth consecutive year the number exceeded 1,000, and this year's number was only slightly lower than the 1,251 entries a year ago.
