I agree completely. She has only 8 shots on the LPGA. Why shouldn't she try her game against better opponents the rest of the year ? This is just another small step that will only make her stronger.

No reason to agree at all.

None whatsoever, and even less reason for Wie.

yes men and women should never play golf against one another even if they are offered 700k to do so! NEVA!

How about Annika's performance at the Colonial.
There she played very well. But she just had too long a distance left on her approach shots. That meant she couldn't stop the ball when it landed on the green and it just kept running off on her.

This was one of the shorter courses. Annika played a great game on it, for her, but she just didn't have the length on her tee shots, or enough strength ouf of the rough.

I think that is a pretty good reason to believe that Annika wouldn't do as well as Michelle on the pga tour.

Annika is the superior lpga player, Michelle is superior to Annika on a pga style course. That is the very reason why Annika won't go up against the men again.

At the SK Telecom, the course was over 7,100 yards. Several reports suggested that many lpga players could have made the cut there, because Wie did.
What those journalists don't recognise is just because an lpga player can do as well on a 6,300 yard course as Wie does, that doesn't mean they would be as good on a 7,000+ yard course.

Very true, but if you have not won on a 6300 yard course, you will not win on a 7000+ course.

I agree with you that she can't win at this stage on a 7000+ course, not due to the length of the course, but the quality of competiton.

At this stage of her career, I don't think she can win soon on the pga tour, or even on the Japanese tour for instance. However I still think it is good experience, and I think she will make a pga cut in the next 2 pga events.
