San Jose Mercury News:

Teenager Michelle Wie has accepted a sponsor's exemption to play in the Boise Open on the Nationwide Tour, becoming the first female golfer to compete on the PGA Tour's developmental circuit. The event is Sept. 18-21.

Wie, a 13-year-old eighth-grader in Honolulu who hits the ball farther than some PGA Tour players, will be the third female player this year to go head-to-head with the men.
