It was a tournament that Michelle Wie was supposed to make her splash at but instead saw the small Fujikawa make it big.

I’m talking about the Sony Open which is to be played at Waialae Country Club on January 10-13th. Tadd finished 20th overall after making the cut by shooting a second round 66.

Tadd later went on to become a Pro over the summer.

Michelle Wie is still waiting for her sponsors exemption while she no doubt finishes finals at her first semester at Stanford.

His goal, to make the cut for the first time in 5 tries as a PGA professional. (Of course I’m sure he’s always thinking win thought. :)

However, the 17th hole gave him troubles and threw a minor kink in his plans. the 17th came with a double bogey placing him at 2 over par after he finished the day with a par. A score that places him near the bottom of the leaderboard.

Bob May leads all golfers with a 9 under after the first day. Tadd Fujikawa will have a tough road to climb back up since he’ll be chasing the majority of the pack. Only 5 golfers shot worse than his 2 over.

This event will be held at the TPC Summerlin and TPC Canyons courses in Vegas and is a charity tournament benefiting the Shriners Hospitals for Children.

In an interview Tadd sounded excited to play and mentioned that he’d been working on his game and is ready to go.
