Big news in the desert this weekend! Michelle Wie placed 19th in the Samsung World Championship played in Palm Desert at Bighorn Golf Club and this helped more than double her earnings for the entire year! Sounds good if it not for her total earnings so far this year being less than $10,000 plus the fact only 20 players participated in the Samsung tourney. Her 1 under 71 (only the 2nd sub par round this year) helped push her ahead of Germany's Bettina Hauert & come up just 36 strokes behind winner Lorena Ochoa.
Anyone else and I might be inclined to feel sorry for her but aside from winning the USGA Women's Amateur Public Links title in 2003, she's done absolutely nothing! She's really starting to embarrass herself and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. Someone needs to set her off on the right path quick. If I were her advisor (or her Daddy) I'd say "Golf or college, make a decision" If it's college then great - play maybe 2 or 3 LPGA exemptions a year & spend the rest of the time studying. If it's golf then let's focus on winning a woman's tournament before ever teeing it up with the men again. Unless she's absolutely stupid, why continue to go against the men? She can't win, damn, she can't even make the cut so what's the point?
