Michelle Wie's bid to play in next month's men's US Open golf tournament is still alive - barely.
Wie, 15, shot a four-over 76 in a US Open qualifier, failing to secure one of four berths in sectional play.
But the high school student still has a chance to play her way to Pinehurst.
She finished in a three-way tie for sixth and was declared the second alternate.
A playoff between the three could not take place because Andrew Feldmann and Norman Asao, also Hawaiians, were not at Turtle Bay Resort after Wie finished.
USGA official Stephen Perry said because Wie was the only player left, she earned the second alternate spot.
