I'm fairly 'wowd' by this. She's been a bit shaky this week it seems and I wasn't expecting a 5up through 13 this morning...

As far as her attidude, not knowing the facts, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, especially till shes older. She certainly doesn't whine like Pressel and that's good enough for me.

Afterall, she is only 15 and will most likely never need to 'work' a day of her life.

Plus, being a father, I would have to say that her attidude would be more a reflection of her parents then herself and only time will tell her true character.

so she's won 6 and 5 and beaten a ten seed and a 23 seed. Next up is a match this afternoon against Tyler Neil, the 58 seed.

She's up 2 through 15 holes. Unless she collapses, it looks like she'll be moving into the round of 8.

Wow.

Now she's dormie 16.

justin D · #67 07-14-2005, 04:49 PM

Pretty impressive.

M2d · #69 07-14-2005, 05:47 PM

and, in the battle of big pooches, Wie takes on the 63 seed (out of 64) tomorrow in the quarterfinals. You gotta love match play.

She took an exemption on the nationwide tour last year and I think is taking another this year. I think it is important for her development as a player that she wins. She can't win on the PGA Tour. She needs to go win some tournaments. She has not won the girls junior or womens amateur (yet). She has the ability now to win on the LPGA Tour, and as I've said it doesn't bother me that she plays out there now, even though she has not won. But she needs to win something IMO. SHe is learning to put on a show and lose. She needs to learn to win to maximize her ability. Maybe she has so much ability it doesn't matter. maybe she will learn anyway. We'll see. And yes, the hype sours me. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I think you are clueless about professional golf. How many players do you think go their entire professional career without ever winning a tournament?

Also, sponsor's exeptions are just that . . . for the sponsor, so that they can sell extra tickets or get extra TV coverage. I am so sick of this, "she's taking a spot from someone who deserves to be there," argument. No she's not, she's taking a spot from a local guy who is a pretty good golfer, or a has-been from the area.
