Michelle Wie enters third round and history books

Although rain washed out the third round, Michelle Wie made history as the first woman to make the cut in a major men's tour event since 1945.

The Hawaiian-born Wie entered the third round of the SK Telecom Open on Saturday in South Korea.

Babe Zaharias was the last woman to make the cut on the PGA Tour at the 1945 Tucson Open.

The accomplishment may have been sweeter as it came in Wie's ancestral homeland of Korea, where both her parents were born. Her arrival in the country has fueled a media frenzy.
