Michelle Wie at LPGA Q-School

Michelle Wie's meteoric rise in the golf world had come crashing down by the time the LPGA's Final Qualifying Tournament arrived in December 2008. While Wie was playing much, much better in the latter half of 2008, she still hadn't full recovered from her disastrous 2007 campaign, one marred by injuries, swing changes and controversies. Would the old Wie be back for Q-School? Would Wie finally join the LPGA Tour, playing her way on via Q-School?

Yes and yes. The photos in this gallery show Wie during the Q-School finals. For more Wie photos, visit the Michelle Wie pictures index.
