Well, it ain't the LPGA, so it won't mean diddle.

Of course, if she makes the cut they'll tag her #1 in the world.

I guess your right. What would it matter if a woman made a cut on a main mens professional tour for the first time in 60 years. Where's the big deal in that.

You are right, that it doesn't matter for the lpga. If she wins the event outright, it would have no effect on her womens ranking.

hey rodney.. I made the snidely remark just for fun. I really don't care where she'll wind up.

In all seriousness, I think she'll make the cut and finish in the top ten in this tournament.








Drama ... it's for sissies who can't handle the real world..

I kind of guessed you were joking, but other people tend to get confused about rankings and may well think a good performance could boost her womens ranking.

As regards your prediction, that sure is optimistic. Even I don't think she will do that well.

Making a Cut for Wie Is Mostly Mental

If she would quit worrying about making the cut, she probably will. As long as she is worried about it, my guess is that it is such a hurdle, it will be difficult to overcome.

It does seem like she presses too hard and gets tense when she is close, both in these tournaments and the LPGA. Her game seems to be there but a bit more experience with the decision-making should help tremendously.

Once the breakthrough comes about, I believe the pressing might stop and she will just play her normal game.

Has Wie decided that baseball is better than golf?



Alledgely she wasn't much good at baseball, but when she took a golf swing with her bat, she did quite well.

I have her narrowly missing the cut. Will this event be televised?

Wait, I thought this was an Asian Tour event - "main men's professional tour"?

I say she misses it, by how much is of little consequence.

6 main tours:
uspga, euro pga, japanese, asian, sunshine tour, australasian tour.

I do agree though that the asian tour is a long way off the pga tour standard.

Well, without bothering to see who else is in the field, I think she has a shot a doing well (makes cut, top half of players).

2 main tours:
PGA Tour, Euro Tour. Everything else is secondary (at best).

There are 150 players in the tournament.
This is not pga standard, but they are full time professional golfers, who play week in - week out on these sort of courses.
Many of them are bound to play well.
