    How many events has Wie won?

    Guess she couldn't cheat enough to break 80.

    Isn't Tiger still No. 1 in the men's rankings? Hard to invest a lot in them.

    I'm covering this thing this week...I will say this, Wie's representative from IMG was very, very, very, very quick in the post-round. So much so that is was borderline demeaning to the print media; it would have been better had she not even made her available than to do what she did.
    She marched her client in, said, "Where's ESPN?"
    They got their two questions.
    The IMG rep then said, "And the Golf Channel?"
    They got two questions.
    Then Wie, in the middle of answering her third question from us print boors, was interrupted with a booming, "one more!" from the IMG woman...and Wie was gone. Four quick questions and that was it.
    That was after Thursday.
    I'm of the thinking where I'd rather someone not show up at all than be patronized by some agent and treated like a peasant.

    But, at least Wednesday's practice round press conference provided a gem:

    QUESTION: You won a tournament now. You're still in college. Are you a Phi Beta Kappa yet?
    MICHELLE WIE: No sorority for me yet, but it's been fun. It's been a lot of fun. You know, it's great, but I want to do better this year, and I just want to keep doing better and better. College is fun; it's a lot of hard work. It all pays off in the end.

    Playthrough already proved you wrong, but to add to that..


    How does the No. 2-ranked men's player score a NINE on the 18th hole today (and ended up missing the cut because of it).
    This, on a course that's a birdie fest right now.

    So, I'm guessing the short answer is "no."
