LONDON (AFP) - Fifteen-year-old Michelle Wie has been given the chance of playing in this year's British Open after the Royal and Ancient Club agreed to allow women to enter the Championship.

Details of how women players would qualify have yet to be announced but Wie comes into a special category because of her invitation to the John Deere Classic in Illinois on July 7-10.

The US Tour event carries with it an exemption into the Open for the leading non-exempt player.


So Wie, who next month makes her first attempt to qualify for the US Open, could miss the halfway cut and still claim an exempt spot.

1. She may not get in still

If the John Deere Classic is an open tournament, then there will be a ceertain number of open qualifiers. If the open qualifier beats her, she does not get an invite.
