Shot 78 on the Euro Tour. In response to one of the questions about
shooting 78:
"You know, if you think about it, minus the par threes, I only shot two
over."
Sure...two over for 14 holes. Maybe they'll "minus" the par threes for
her tomorrow...who knows.

Obviously didn't work too well, The Bank of Scotland didn't print any

Well, after that performance, I don't blame him. But if she missed by 2
or 4 shots like she has before, you think he'd be saying that? I doubt
it.

There is a difference between "playing" for sponsorship/appearance
money and "competing" for prize money. She is very clearly in the
category of the former in this instance. Omega? Random event in
Switzerland? Even the announcers pondered how much she was paid to
appear. But yeah, you're right, she belongs there. DFL/15 over par
for two days in a random Euro event played on a 6800 yard course in the
Alps (10% altitude factor = ~ 6200 yds) is a stellar showing doing her
psyche a world of good.
I'll say it again: Most talented 16 year old golfer on the planet,
male or female? Probably. Ridiculous phenom? Of course. Ready for
the bigs? 78/79 says no.

Whatever they paid her, she's worth it. I'll bet that 90% of the
Americans who tuned in, did it to see her. I'll bet that 0% of
anybody who tuned in gave a crap who the announcers were. I wonder
how much *they* were paid? How much do you think the Bank of Scotland
paid Jack to miss the cut at St. Andrews last year, which just

You must have me mixed up with someone else. I never said she
belonged there, I just said I don't blame her for accepting either the
invitation or the money. But let me know when they print $5 bills
with Michelle's picture on them, and sell them for $10.

Interesting comment because of Sergio's earlier in the week. It seems
like this European course was not well suited to her game. I have no
problem with Wie playing in "men's" tournaments, but she and her
entourage should be more selective about the events that they choose.
This choice didn't work.

Given that she's had a considerable break, and mentioned in an interview
having just started school again, I wonder if it may be in part a case of
her game just not being in good shape at the moment. I haven't seen any of
the coverage, but a couple reports of atrocious play sound like she was just
'off' the past two days.
hope she can get it together next week - she's going to get a lot more
attention at the 84 Lumber, with its 7500+ yards, and a course that long is
going to be more of a challenge than maybe any of the events she's yet
played against the guys.

I don't care what she says up or down, I found it funny; and are you
telling me if your buddy told you "I would have only shot 17 over if I
didn't have to play the par threes today!" you wouldn't laugh him out
of the grill room? Whatebber...
Also, no one has mentioned here that she is sponsored by Omega and that
the Euro Tour allows, but doesn't publicize or encourage, appearance
fees on the actual continent - usually reserved for the off-continent
tourneys - Dubai and the like. Anyway, this reeks to me of a
promotional appearance, nothing more. I mean, she lives in Hawaii -
why some random Euro event in Switzerland? Money and contractual
obligations.

The 16-year-old again hit some wild shots and ran up successive double

Well, I could say to her what my buddies would say to me after
shooting rounds where two triple bogies kept me from being under par:
"Golf is 18 holes, not 16..get the f--k over it!"

I watched her play yesterday. It was simply awful. They showed her
live from the 13th hole onwards and she did not hit a single shot that
I could say was good. As a matter of fact, she struck the ball
extremely poorly and was lucky to be only +6 at the end of the day. I
did not read any post-round interviews. I hope that she did not say
she putted well, because she did not. Her bunker play was attrocious,
too.

Too late for the juniors, but I agree; she hasn't proven herself on
courses just north of 6000 yards - there is no reason aside from Nike
dollars for her to continually subject herself to these drubbings by
men on both sides of The Pond. Speaking of short courses, this course
they are playing is 6800 and change - then knock 10% off for altitude,
and she should be right at home.
As an aside, she just looked awful out there today. Drivers pulled
dead left, par three tee shots that would make "Ben Hogan puke", I saw
a couple of green side sand shots skanked over the green completely, a
ginched putt from three feet that didn't even sniff the hole, miserable
pitches/half wedges. I don't think this round was indicative of her
ability on her best day, but it is indicative of how she performs in
the big picture on the PGA/Euro/Nationwide Tours.
Much respect for the game she does have - which is obviously
considerable. The skills are not in question; the choice of venues is
definitely suspect.

I agree - at this point if she ever made a cut in a men's tourney, it would
seem more of a fluke rather than a real accomplishment. It too bad - but
also too late.
