It’s time to stop making excuses Michelle Wie

With a 5 over 77 yesterday and a 9 over 81 today, Michelle Wie needs to stop sounding like she doles out excuses rather than causes.

She played well yesterday, she did hit her irons well, and she did play well off the tee. Although she was rarely inside 10 ft of the pin in regulation she still had oportunities. Speaking of her putting yesterday she said it “let her down.”

Ok, fine, that’s not really an excuse, she didn’t putt well and all those watching could see it. but to end her press conference saying:

“It was frustrating, because I was hitting every putt on line and about
six or seven looked like going in the middle and sometimes they hit a
spike mark, sometimes a footprint,”

Well, that’s just “junk” to use a word so often used to describe BS in Hawaii. Every other person out there had to contend with those same ball marks and spike marks. Sure you had the last tee time of the day but enough of the excuses already. How about today? Sitting at nearly last, only 9 players went out before you. Surely they didn’t mark up the green that bad.

You were nine over. 9.

Now I am all for women’s rights, and I think it’s great that you’re trying to compete on the men’s tour. But maybe you should begin to feel as though you need to earn your spot on the men’s tour and play some qualifying tournaments, how about you hop over to the nationwide tour and try and qualify for your PGA card rather than sliding in on a sponsors expemption. Maybe then the PGA tour can get back to it’s pre freak-show status.

Don’t you feel bad that because you’re a women, yes, I’m saying it, only because you are a women do you get to go on the men’s tour, that’s it! Yes you’re a 16 year old women, but that’s it. Sure you can hit it far, but there are a few women on the LPGA tour that can hit the ball further.

By the way, as it stands now, MIchelle Wie will sit in last place for the second week in a row in a men’s tournament.
