Teen golf sensation Michelle Wie shot a two-over 74 Sunday to finish out of title contention at the SK Telecom Open, where she made the cut in a men's pro golf tournament for the first time.

At the final round on Youngjong island off Incheon, the Hawaiian-born Korean American had two birdies and four bogeys for a 54-hole, three-under 213 12 strokes behind winner Prom Meesawat of Thailand.

Indian Jeev Milkha and Lee Seung-ho of South Korea shared second place at 12-under-par, one stroke ahead of defending champion Choi Kyoung-ju.

After seven failed attempts, the 17-year-old, who turned pro in October, became the second woman to make the cut in a men's tournament in South Korea after Pak Se-ri in 2003.

Wie heads to the US Open qualifying round in Hawaii later this month.
