Rose offers support as Wie struggles

Words of encouragement from Justin Rose could not save Michelle Wie from a nightmare start to her fourth appearance on the US Tour today.

The 16-year-old, yet to make a halfway cut, was five over par after only six holes of the Sony Open in Honolulu. And that put her eight adrift of joint leaders Jim Furyk, David Toms, Rory Sabbatini, Peter Lonard and Brad Faxon.
