Michelle Wie makes cut in Korean men's golf tournament
{{date|May 6, 2006}}
[[U.S.]] golfer {{w|Michelle Wie}} made the cut yesterday in the 2006 SK Telecom Open in {{w|Inchon}}, [[South Korea]], finishing the second round with a 3-under-par 69 and 5-under-par overall, tying her for 17th overall.

This was Wie's eighth attempt at making it past the halfway point in a men's professional golf tournament.  She had played in seven tournaments on the PGA, Canadian, Nationwide, and Japanese tours, failing to make the 36-hole cut in all seven attempts.
