Golf: Ogilvie in control as ailing Wie quits
SILVIS (Illinois), July 15: American Joe Ogilvie took charge at the John Deere Classic in Silvis, Illinois and Michelle Wie made a premature exit with heat exhaustion on Friday.
Ogilvie fired a four-under-par 67 to forge one stroke clear in the second round at the TPC at Deere Run before Wie's unlikely bid to make a first PGA Tour cut ended after nine holes.
The 16-year-old Hawaiian, competing with the men for the ninth time in a professional event, was eight over par and 10 strokes away from the eventual cut line when she decided to quit.
Dripping with sweat on a steamy afternoon, she was in visible discomfort over her last five holes, repeatedly drying her face with a towel and putting her hand to her stomach.
After running up a double-bogey six at the ninth where a doctor was called out to check her condition, she ended her bid to become the first woman to make a PGA Tour cut in 61 years.
Ogilvie, chasing his first Tour title, displayed impressive form as he moved to the top of a congested leaderboard at 10-under 132.
The Texas-based professional, who has finished second three times on the PGA Tour since first playing on the circuit in 1999, mixed three birdies with a bogey to reach the turn in two-under 33.
He then picked up further shots on 10 and 12 before finishing one ahead of compatriots Kris Cox (68) and John Huston (67), Sweden's Daniel Chopra (69) and Australia's John Senden (69).
