Garcia gets major lift 7-stroke triumph for Annika Hugo ambles to victory

Johannesburg - Don't look for Michelle Wie at this year's Ginn Tribute hosted by Annika Sorenstam.

A tournament spokesperson said Wie was not given an exemption into the event as she was a year ago. That's when Wie, citing a wrist injury, withdrew after 16 holes of her opening round.

Wie said she left because of her wrist and not because she was two-shots shy of the LPGA Tour's "88" rule. That would have banned her from further tour exemptions until the following season for shooting an 88 or higher.

Wie, however, was seen practicing at the LPGA Tour's next stop.

This year one of the tournament exemptions went to South Africa's LPGA rookie Ashleigh Simon.

The tournament takes place at RiverTowne Country Club from May 29 to June 1.
