Michelle Wie failed in her eighth attempt to make the cut on the men's PGA Tour, shooting a second-round 80 at the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open on Friday in Nevada.

Parker McLachlin tied the course record with a 62 to take the lead into the clubhouse at 14 under par.

Wie was 1 over par 73 Thursday as she attempted to become the first woman since Babe Zaharias, in 1945, to make the cut on the PGA Tour.

But a quintuple-bogey nine Friday helped push her to 9-over 153 at the par-72 Montreux Golf and Country Club.

The 18-year-old, who was making her first PGA appearance since January 2007, had two bogeys and one birdie through her first nine holes and was within striking distance of a cut line that was hovering around even par with several golfers still on the 7,472-yard mountain course.

But she had a double bogey on her 13th hole of the day after she hit her second shot over the green into heavy rough on the 518-yard, par-5 No. 4.

With a difficult downhill lie, Wie's chip came up short, still in the rough. Her next pitch rolled over the green into the rough again before she finally chipped onto the green and two-putted.

The quintuple-bogey 9 came four holes later on the 464-yard, par-4 eighth, when she had to take two penalty strokes.

Wie's first tee shot ended up with an unplayable lie in the trees and the second one went left into a waste area with sagebrush and pine trees, where she had to take another drop and needed four more shots to reach the green.

She finished with a birdie on the 626-yard, par-5 ninth.

Wie's decision to skip the women's British Open this week to play in the Reno tournament has drawn criticism from other ladies' golfers. She has yet to win on the LPGA tour.

McLachlin, who has five Top 25 PGA finishes this year and ranks 98th on the tour money list, birdied seven of the last 10 holes and had 11 on the day in a bogey-free round. His hot wedge play put him within seven feet of the pin seven times — twice inside two feet and once to four inches.

Most of the top golfers on the PGA Tour are playing in the final World Golf Championship event at Akron, Ohio, this weekend, weakening the desert field considerably.
