Why WOW? That seems normal for all the times I've ever taken note of her scores.
I finally saw her interviewed on the golf channel the other day and there's a real 'wow', she is really a not too bright person to put it nicely. Anyway enough of that, we really need to stop creating these threads about her, and start ones about more appealing female golfers.
i know crowd + pressure + endorsements + young has lot of effect on her.. but she should be better than that.. if she wants to keep her Nike endorsement.
sigh...
shez on a very steep downhill and her brakes are out...
Of course....that is assuming i am playing my home course while she plays a USGA setup.
"WOW" is not the reaction I had. More like, "YUP, FIGURED IT WOULD BE ABOUT THAT "
It may be the "******** US Open", but she has no business being out there right now.
A summer off for rehab and psychological counseling would be a good investment. Breaking free from BJ would be even more beneficial. But I see reason for some hope in this situation. Capriati enjoyed success after she got her head on straight. O'Hair found a stable supportive surrogate family.
I sincerely hope one day Michelle will find some kind of solution that allows her to regain her form. Very talented young lady, but her life is a train wreck this year.
• 2005: nothing noteworthy
• 2006: same as 2005
• 2007: so far, same as 2005 and 2006
Nothing personal against the young lady, you understand - but what is the point of reporting on Michelle Wie if she hasn't achieved something of note?
Can't we talk about Lorena, Annika, Karrie, Se Ri, Morgan, Paula, Cristie, Brittany or even Natilie? And how about 12-year-old Alexis Thompson?
Just a thought from Frank-0-Sport
i'll give you lorena, annika, karrie, se ri, morgan, paula, cristie, brittany and a host of other lpga players. but to throw in natalie who hasn't won either? or 12 year old alexis thompson who qualified for the open? let's face it, michelle's play right now and for the recent past has been abysmal but i'd rather have michelle's career record than natalie gulbis or alexis thompsons record.
and my title was accurate. she's at the back of the pack in the open.

Someday she will get out of this mess her "miss-management team" has put her in. MW has too much natural talent to have these terrible problems. Once the clouds over her head depart (daddy, wrong instructor, Nike) she will be on her way to many good years of professional golf...
...if she doesn't burn out first.
not-a-wie-supporter-or-detractor...just a good eye.
Scoreboard. Wish her well; however, that is a really, really poor showing. Even the twelve year old beat her up. Let's be realistic here. That is what makes golf so cool--you got to perform and there are no excuses.
In listening to the MW interview after pulling out of the US Open today I am wondering whether she has the mental skills to continue in the short term. Her conversation was very irrational. This player needs an extended break from the game to get her mind back in order and, obviously, to get in a better physical shape.

i think she needs an extended break, too. we all know how much mental state comes into play with our own games. on that level, it's probably worse.
let both her wrist and mind heal and then come back. she's still young. all she needs is the desire.

SOUTHERN PINES, North Carolina (Ticker) It just keeps getting
worse for Michelle Wie, who withdrew midway through the second round at the U.S. Women's Open on Saturday.
Wie, who has struggled since fracturing her left wrist in January, pulled out while playing her 10th hole on another humid morning at Pine Needles, claiming the pain was strong enough to bring tears to her eyes.
"I just woke up and it was really sore," said the 17-year-old from Hawaii. "I hit a drive off the seventh tee and just tweaked it, and then it went downhill.
"I don't remember hurting this much again. The last thing I want to do is withdraw, but it left me with no choice."
