Heat claims Wie before cut at John Deere

The teen was treated for heat exhaustion after nine holes.

Missing yet another PGA Tour cut was the least of Michelle Wie's worries.

The 16-year-old phenom was treated for heat exhaustion at a local hospital after withdrawing from the John Deere Classic in Silvis, Ill., with nine holes left Friday. She struggled to keep herself from getting sick on a hot, steamy afternoon, and left in an ambulance.

"She suffered a number of different symptoms, including stomach pains, nausea, dizziness and breathing problems which worsened as the round continued," Wie's agent, Ross Berlin, said in a statement. "She was treated at the emergency room of the Genesis Medical Center and will soon be released. Michelle was diagnosed with heat exhaustion and is now resting and in very good spirits."

Wie was released Friday night, said Tammy Stone, a nursing supervisor at the Genesis Medical Center, Illini campus.

Wie walked off the ninth hole on her own, but after talking with her parents said she couldn't play anymore. She then was taken to the course medical trailer, where she was treated for about 30 minutes. Under Illinois law, Wie had to be taken to a hospital for further attention.

This was Wie's fifth attempt at becoming the first woman since Babe Zaharias in 1945 to make a PGA Tour cut. But her chances at history were all but over after she opened with a 6-over 77 Thursday.

She was at 2-over 37 -- and 8 over for tournament -- when she withdrew Friday. Joe Ogilvie was the second-round leader at 10-under 132 after a 4-under 67. Daniel Chopra (69), Kris Cox (68), John Senden (69) and John Huston (67) were one stroke back at 9 under.

Mi Hyun Kim shot a 5-under 66 for a share of the lead in the suspended second round of the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic in Sylvania, Ohio.

Reilley Rankin (68) also finished at 8-under 134 before rain forced the suspension of play. Natalie Gulbis was 8 under through nine holes when play was stopped.

Se Ri Pak, attempting to match Mickey Wright's tour record of five victories in one event, and Annika Sorenstam were both 4 under through 11 holes.

Seventy-two players were unable to finish the round.

Champions Tour

Joe Ozaki made a Champions Tour-record eight straight birdies and was 8 under through 12 holes when the second round of the Senior Players Championship was suspended because of rain Friday in Dearborn, Mich.

The 50-year-old Ozaki was 9 under overall and facing an 8-foot birdie putt at No. 13 when play was stopped. Six players, including Tom Watson and 1998 champion Gil Morgan, were in the clubhouse one stroke back at 8 under.
