Running Michelle Wie excuse thread

I remember being told to wait on Darko a few years ago. Just give him time. Give him time.

Give him time.

 

Seems like Ms. Wie has some things in order. It's only two-fifths of the way through, but she's playing very, very well at Q-School.

I hope this is a sign of things to come for her.

 

Not surprising. It is not as if she cannot strike the ball.

 

She's still not good enough not to talk to reporters after a round. In order to pull that off, it helps if you have actual accomplishments.

 

She wasn't allowed to just be a teen for a while.

It will haunt her for a while.

 

I hope she does pull it together.

 

She said at the beginning she'd wait until after the tournament was over. It's not like she's sneaking out of the clubhouse to hide from them. Besides, I don't want to hear from Michelle Wie during the early rounds of a qualifying tournament, unless she throws down a pair of 82s or something. Or gets DQ'd. Again.

 

She had the best score yesterday on the Legends course, which is the harder of the two at LPGA. Not surprising to see her leading today after a run through the Champions course. Tomorrow I think she'll be back on the Legends course, which means 1) she won't score as comparatively well as today and 2) somebody will claim that the higher score proves she can't hack it, which is bollocks given that she'll be on a tougher course.

 

Right. They make the cut after the fourth round, right? If so, is the final round on the Legends course?

 

Enters the final round in 2nd place. She is 9 shots to the good of the player in 20th place.

 

Earned her card, finished tied for seventh at 12-under after a 74 on the final day.

Good for her.

 

PGA Tour Q School next year?
