... the comeback: Wie failed to sign her scorecard after Friday’s second round. She showed up Saturday and shot 5-under 67 to finish alone in second at 17 under, one stroke back of Yani Tseng. That’s when Wie learned of the LPGA’s ruling. The 18-year-old Wie, who appeared to have been crying, told reporters she made a mistake. “I don’t know how it happened,” she said. This makes me very sad. (Story)

The Shark Remains On Course, Wie Derailed

Obviously, Greg Norman’s current stance as the leader of the British Open through 54 holes tells us two things: I need to be up at 6 AM Pacific tomorrow to catch the impending collapse live (despite the fact that Norman has won this tournament twice, he’s still living down the ‘96 Masters) and Chris Evert has to be the mythical “Fountain Of Youth” that Spanish explorers came to the New World to search for centuries ago. Greg Norman and Chris Evert While I expect Norman to give us a nice little fall on Sunday for old time’s sake, at least if he falters, it will be because of play on the course or because Padraig Harrington, K.J. Choi , or someone else in the ...

Wow. Just when we thought Michelle Wie had faded, finally, from the limelight, she found herself in the clubhouse Saturday alone in second place at the State Farm Classic in Springfield, Illinois. That position didn’t last long, though, as she was summarily informed that she was being DQ’ed for failing to sign her card in a timely manner the day before. Ouch. Don’t they teach kids anything at Stanford these days? Like, maybe, turning in your homework on time? Or signing your scorecard before you walk out of the roped off players’ area? Well, that’s apparently what Wie did. Or rather, failed to ...

Michelle Wie gets DQ’d… and for once she was actually doing well

It seems like it wasn’t that long ago that Michelle Wie exploded onto the golf scene and according to the “experts” she was supposed to be the fully asian, female version of Tiger Woods. She’s still workin’ on that. Despite the fact that she is yet to actually win an event at the professional level, she actually looked pretty this weekend at the State Farm Classic in Springfield, Illinois. Then she made a pretty basic mistake… she failed to sign her scorecard before leaving the scoring area. That mistake got her disqualified from the tournament. Doh! ...

Okay, so it’s been awhile since I’ve dished out some juicy pellets of the stuff we love to stick our fingers in. You know, those Dairy Queen swirls of Pig Droppings that we’ve all learned to refer to as Pig Poop. I find poop every day and I have been remiss in not sharing the poop with all of you. So STFU, sit back and enjoy the latest insatllment. I’m not the only one who hates Ohio State!!! But I am a new fan of an NFL quarterback. It sure is ballsy to be the starting quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals (Yes, Cincinnati OHIO) and then start bad mouthing their beloved Buckeyes. However, that is exactly what Carson Palmer ...
