Michelle Wie didn’t have much luck on her side this time around at the Sony Open. She was playing on her home course of Waialae Country Club, in front of her home crowd. Where she would most likely get the most support this year if she continued to miss the cut in men’s tournaments.
All that didn’t add up to a stellar two days. Instead, she struggled the first day, and struggled the second day. Scoring a 78 and a 76 respectively to end the two days at 14-over and in third to last place among the men who finished the two days.
She had many shots that went a stray but her real struggle was on the greens where numerous times she just didn’t’ get the leaners she needed. She lipped out several times where she needed to make par and instead made bogey, hurting her chances to come closer to making the cut.
Of the day and of what people are saying about her playing in mens tournaments Michelle Wie said;
“People have opinions. Let them have opinions. But that’s not going to change what I want to do, because they don’t know what I want and, you know, they don’t know what I feel.”
She is persistent and appears to want to continue to play in PGA events so long as she gets her sponsors exemptions.

[...] On Friday, one local high school student famished and one local high school student flourished. Michelle Wie missed the cut again at her fourth Sony Open playing at her Waialae Country Club home course. But the big news was coming from a few holes ahead of Michelle Wie. [...]
Wie needs to stop playing on the men’s tour (at least for a long while). Her game is nowhere near where it should be to compete with the men, and she looks very weak mentally. And as we all know, golf is largely a mental/psychological sport. You can have the best swing in the world, but if your mind isn’t all there you WILL hack!
IMO, she doesn’t know what she wants. She gets accepted to Stanford despite turning pro. You CAN’T do both…it’s either one or the other: Academics or Pro Golf. She can’t play golf at Stanford either since she’s lost her amateur status so I have no idea how she’ll be able to keep her game in shape while at Stanford.
I’ll tell you this: a lot of this has to do w/ her father. Korean fathers (in general) are very strict and ALWAYS want their kids to SHOOT for the STARS. This is fine of course, in most cases, but Korean fathers obsess about this and PUSH their kids extremely hard. If they fail, they are belittled. It’s sad. Believe me, I’m Korean and most of my friend’s parents are the same way.
Anyway, Wie needs to stick to the ladies tour and win a couple of times before going back to the men’s tour. It’s the only way…otherwise, she’ll continue to miss the cut and her young spirit and mind will be crushed and will permanently ruin her competitive game. Honestly, I don’t even think she’ll be able to win on the ladies tour once she begins Stanford. Focusing on tough academics and pro golf is no easy feat.
Look at Tiger, he left Stanford so he can turn pro. Wie is doing the complete opposite: turns pro and joins Stanford. This is simply not the way to do it.
I couldn’t agree more. She’s all over the place with what she is doing and what she wants to do. If she can bring her game to men’s pro caliber while at stanford, then I say go for it.
But you don’t need the education. People go to prestigious colleges because they want to be professors and have a life long journey of learning, or because they want a great job where they can make six figures a year.
Michelle, last time I checked you made at least $20 million last year. Pay someone to teach you. You don’t need the bragging rights of a college education.
But that’s just my opinion. I’ll keep writing about what you do no matter what. I’m a fan and you keep it interesting
[...] Tadd Fujikawa was a lesson for all young golfers trying to make it big. Play for fun and play with your heart. Don’t love the sport just for the money. You’ll never make the cut if that’s all you play for. Posted in Sony Open, Tadd Fujikawa [...]
I have a better idea — When she wins anything or makes the cut in the PGA then that will be news and you can talk about it. Until then…this is the same old story so you might as well post the same article, change the name of the tournament and by how many strokes she misses the cut. Use the same words for the rest…
Now someone has suggested that she is being exploited by agents and corporations, all determined to squeeze as much exposure and as many dollars as they can before she turns 20. Well…she accepted their money, so they have to! After all, they know that when she plays in the PGA they are only getting two days worth of exposure, so, of course they have to squeeze as much as they can!!!
Hey, if I was 17 and could smack the ball far enough that people wanted to pay me money, I’d take it. You gotta admit that she has cahones. She keeps going out there even though the sports world is slowly turning on her.
This has nothing to do with how far she can smack the ball. There are tons of 16 and 17-yr old boys who can hit it farther — trust me. This is all about sex appeal!!! She is cute and the corporate guys like that. It sounds bad, doesn’t it? Big businesses are after this 17-yr old sex symbol! They sure are not paying for how well she is doing in the PGA, are they? Nor are they paying for all the events she is winning in the LPGA. She can play well (although not well enough yet to win in the LPGA or the even make the cut in the PGA) and she is cute and sexy. That, I am afraid, is the bottom line…
How true that is “Still Waiting,” It’s kinda creepy if you think about it.
There are tons who can hit it further. Just look at the LPGA driving averages. That britney chica that beat her in match play last year was out driving her all day long.
All I’m saying is I would take the money too. Maybe I’m greedy, but if the money’s on the table, I’m gone with it.
We’ll see how this year goes?
I agree with you, evossman — if I was her dad, I would certainly tell her to take the money! On the other hand, there comes a point, if you have plenty of it (money), where other things are more important. I am sure the Wie’s are not exactly poor, but who am I to say. I am not the one who is being offered the big bucks! So, yes, I would take the money also, but, with accepting those huge contracts, based on your potential and the way you look, means that you also have to take all the other things that go with it — media and fans scrutinity. And…when you do not live up to their expectations, then they could turn on you. It goes with the territory. The sadder part in all this is what I said was the bottom line — sex appeal sells, even when you talk about a teenager. Lorena Ochoa just had an unbelieveable season in the LPGA and she is a hero in her native Mexico (because of her performance in the LPGA, not her sex appeal), but sponsors in the US are not lining up to offer her millions! She doesn’t quite look like Michelle, does she? Very sad indeed… (that we have a bunch of dirty old men in corporate America — but smart enough to know what really sells!)
I believe Michelle should continue to play the mens tour when her schedule permits. She has come very clos e to making the cut, though I believe until she finds a caddie she can really work with she will not reach her full potential. The caddie is the key for her to move from top ten finishes on the womens tour to wins, and to making the cut on the mens tour.

Well, of course if she continues playing on the PGA she will make the cut — the odds are in her favor. Those odds will favor any good female, not just Michelle. If Annika, Lorena, and at least a dozen other of the top women were to try as many times, they would also make a cut and then some… It is just a numbers game. Eventually, they will have a real good weekend and do it. In fact, I feel that if many of those had already tried as many times as Michelle has tried, they would have made the cut already. Annika and Lorena for sure. So what? What does that prove? I suppose if the goal is only to make the cut, then the whole LPGA group could enter the PGA events (if they were given the free passes as Michelle has had) and eventually a whole bunch of them will make the cut!
The goal should be to be competitive and even win! Michelle can do that in the LPGA. In the PGA all she can hope for is that eventually the odds will catch up, she will have a good weekend, and make the cut. Oh well…
Yes, Wie is a very talented player who can hit the ball far. However, hitting the ball far and the other aspects of the golf game are two very different things. Just check the stats on the LPGA and PGA, the longest hitters on both tours doesn’t translate into an actual advantage when it comes to winning tournaments or scoring low.
The Wie team needs to really decide her best option to improve her game. The money will be there due to all the current corporate sponsorship but it will dry out very soon if she turns out to the next Anna Kournikova.
Too many comments on my 2nd fav golfer ( Ernie remains top ).I believe it is only a matter of time before she does it. It’s her mental toughness that will lead her to her first LPGA win, competing with the men will no longer be a problem. Its a matter of confidence, her ability is definately not a problem

What would you do if the internet crashed for good? Would you get used to life with less communication and less “being connected” or would you be pretty bummed for the rest of your life?
This is assuming it was not fixed. Perhaps some largescale EMP attack or something that crippled it for the next 50+ years or so.
