IN BRIEF
HONOLULU — There were plenty of signs that Michelle Wie was in for a rough day, starting on the first hole.
Playing in the Sony Open for the fourth straight year, her seventh start overall on the PGA Tour, the 17-year-old hit a duck-hook and was fortunate her opening tee shot didn't go onto the practice range that lines the left side of the fairway.
Wie didn't stand over a birdie putt until the 12th, didn't find a fairway until No. 15 and had to play hard down the stretch — even par on the back nine — to shoot a 78.
That left her a 15 shots behind Luke Donald, who made nine birdies on his way to a 7-under 63 for a one-shot lead over K.J. Choi.
PITTSBURGH — Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey will be interviewed for the Pittsburgh Steelers' coaching job, the fifth coach to meet with the team since Bill Cowher resigned last week.Team owner Dan Rooney and president Art Rooney II plan to meet with Gailey on Saturday, and may hold a second round of interviews with the finalists next week. The Steelers also followed that procedure before hiring Cowher from among four finalists in 1992.Gailey was a Steelers assistant under Cowher from 1994-97, spending his final two seasons as the offensive coordinator, before becoming the Dallas Cowboys' coach. He had an 18-16 record in two seasons there, including a 10-6 regular-season mark and a division championship in 1998.
