Wie clinches 2009 LPGA Tour place

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida: Michelle Wie claimed a berth on next year's LPGA Tour despite a disappointing two-over-par 74 final round for the teen prodigy at a qualifying tournament on Sunday.

The 19-year-old Korean-American, who only needed a top-20 finish to grab a coveted berth on the elite women's golf series, finished in a share of seventh place on 12-under 348 in the five-day, 90-hole showdown.

American Stacy Lewis won the title on 18-under 342 after a final-round 69 with South Korean Amy Yang second on 345 and American Anna Grzebien third on 346.
