Michelle Wie Makes Cut in Men’s Event
After eight attempts, Michelle Wie finally made a cut at a men’s event. Granted, it was the SK Telecom Open in South Korea (where she’s a superstar), but nonetheless, it was a huge accomplishment. She’s also scheduled to try and qualify for the U.S. Open in Hawaii.
Now, I’m a huge fan of Wie’s, but I think it’s time to focus on winning on the LPGA tour. I followed her at last year’s Women’s U.S. Open in Denver and she does in fact play a different game, but she needs to hone her skills against the best Women players in the world. Yes, she’s been close in the Women’s majors, but she’s going to have to win eventually to justify all the media attention and exemptions she’s been given.
By the way, the crowd following her at last year’s Women’s U.S. Open was easily twice the size of any other player, including Annika.
