I really don't get it, I just don't. Is this some sort of modern cult thing to keep mentioning this Wie person? If we're going to talk about players that finished +16, then why not Nikki Garrett?
Ever since hearing of this Wie person a couple months ago, I've noticed some scores, and have even seen footage of her performance, and quite frankly she *****. From a pro golfer perspective that is. So I checked past history on her to see if maybe she was an Annika Sorenstam that I just haven't heard of, and she's never won anything.
It's getting amusing that her name keeps appearing week after week. Anyone know how much longer this could happen?

with a reference from Arnold Palmer Quoting
"she's probably going to influence the golfing scene as much as Tiger, or more. She's going to attract people that even Tiger didn't attract, young people, both boys and girls, and families."
i didnt hear Arnold mentioning Nikki Garrett.
