Lorena Ochoa on Michelle Wie

Lorena Ochoa was recently interviewed by ESPN.com and was asked some interesting quesitons about Michelle Wie and her play in both the Men’s and Women’s tour. It’s kinda funny that she would be answering questions about another player when the interview is about her but Michelle Wie is a hot topic and we can understand why.

First off, Lorena was asked her thought’s on Michelle Wie’s play in men’s events. She had this to say

I respect Michelle Wie very much. I think she is a great player, but sometimes I believe that she is making some mistakes that could hurt her confidence in her game. I think she does not give good results in the men’s events, and I think it is hurting her confidence level because she is not getting good results and she is not winning any tournaments. My advice to her would be to play more women’s tournaments and achieve her goals first in the women’s events

Next Lorena was asked how Michelle would fare if and when she plays a full season on the LPGA? Lorena’s response:

I think that it is obvious that Michelle Wie is ready to play on the LPGA Tour. Every time she plays, she gets good results. She always makes the cut. She has been top three, top five, top 10 many times. So I think it would be good for her and for us if she would join the LPGA for a full season. It would be more exiting and more fun for the tour.

It seems as though Lorena was giving very honest answers. The rest of the interview is interesting and we suggest you read it.
