CARNOUSTIE, Scotland » Honolulu’s Michelle Wie bounced back from missing the cut last week to shoot a 68 Friday in the second round of the Women’s British Open to make the cut in the LPGA Tour’s final major of the year.

Wie began the second round tied for 75th and in danger of going home early in back-to-back women’s golf events for the first time this year. In her last three tournaments, Wie tied for 72nd, tied for 55th and missed the cut at the Evian Masters last week.

Friday, she carded six birdies and two bogeys en route to finishing in a tie for 38th through the opening 36 holes. She trails leader Caroline Masson by nine shots. Masson shot a 7-under 65 Friday to move to 11-under 133.
