LPGA Milks Michelle Wie, Kills Santa
Published 7/20/2008 by insomniac (noreply@blogger.com) at Insomniac's Lounge
... Wie shot a 65 at the State Farm Classic Friday and for whatever reason- excitement over being tied for the lead, requests for various interviews, or just unaccustomed to actually making it through two days of a tournament- she walked outside of the scorer's tent without signing her scorecard. Fortunately, a volunteer noticed the oversight and called Wie back to the tent where she then signed her card, which was unmodified and correct. Problem solved, right? Well...not exactly. ...

By now, we all know Michelle Wie : she's 18 years old, just so happens to be very good at golf, but has made some questionable career decisions. I'd like to think that's on her parents ( Dottie Pepper agrees ), and I wonder if she would be perfectly happy as an anonymous teenager enjoying college. Whatever, if the golf thing doesn't work out, Wie might want to think about going into comedy. ...
