HONOLULU (AP) -- Tadd Fujikawa keeps stealing the spotlight from Hawaii's other teenage golf star. A day after Michelle Wie gave it a good run at Canoe Brook last summer in her bid to become the first woman to qualify for the U.S. Open, Fujikawa made it to Winged Foot by winning the sectional qualifier in Hawaii.

Funny...a kid that tried the first time makes the cut but the "amazing" Michelle Wie, who should worry about doing something on the womens tour before playing with the men, is missing the cut by 14 shots!

Funny?? what did you expect when a woman tries to play men's sports. She needs to stay in the house making babies and doing the laundry.

I hear that.

I know hundreds of kids who played golf with me growing up that could miss the cut at a PGA event by less than 14 strokes. MW is embarrasing herself and the sponsors that continue to give her a spot instead of a more than deserving lower level PGA member. I hope Sony wakes up and doesn't give her another shot until she proves herself on the LPGA.

The kid that made the cut is sweet! Last night when he made the birdie putt to seal the deal and threw in the big fist pump I was going nuts. I have always loved seeing underdogs step up in the spotlight and make something happen. So many times athletes get that chance and choke. Good for him!

Tadd has taken that momentum boost and is going apefuck on the course right now...he's -5 through 12 today, and just 3 off the lead...

That's awesome. Too bad I don't have him on my fantasy team.

Still in the mix with the biggest smile at Waialae was 16-year-old Tadd Fujikawa, the pint-sized sophomore from Honolulu who delivered more surprises and allowed everyone to dream big. A day after becoming the youngest player in 50 years to make the cut on the PGA Tour, he shot another 66 and was tied for eighth, six shots behind.
