    You don't know that Morgan Pressel ranks just 47th on the money list (Wie is No. 18), ranks 32nd in scoring average (Wie is 16th), has just 1 top-10 finish this season (Wie has 3) and has just 15 rounds under par (Wie has 22).

    But nobody is complaining about the "train wreck" Pressel has become. Hmmmmm.

    By the way, Vicky Hurst also trails Wie --- badly --- in every one of the categories listed above.

    Wins, in case you didn't know, are how we define success in sports.

    Morgan Pressel and Vicky Hurst have won multiple professional golf tournaments.

    In Pressel's case, one of her wins came in a major. She's also a past U.S. Women's Amateur champion.

    Michelle Wie, meanwhile, continues to sport a goose egg in the W column.

    Also, since neither Pressel nor Hurst came into pro golf with anywhere near the amount of hype that Wie did, any amount of success they have can only benefit them and their careers.

    They may also have a lot more respect in the eyes of their peers given that they've, you know, won some golf tournaments along the way.
