DFL thru three rounds

There's only 20 people in that field?

 

[heyabbott]

She started Saturday with bogey, bogey, birdie, triple bogey. Guess she was hung over from celebrating her back-to-back 79's in round 1 & 2.

 

[hondo]

Leave her alone! Go after Laura Davies ... She's 40. She's a m.... (opps, sorry).

 

[dawgpounddiehard]

My goodness... was she wearing that red dress while playing?

That's the biggest laugh I've had this weekend! Very very well done!

What did Wie do in the last 12 months to get invited to such an exclusive field? She certainly wasn't in the top 20 on the money list, was she?

 

[accguy]

She was invited into the field very, very earlier this year. I think before she hurt her wrist. For as much as people question Doug Ferguson, he wrote a couple of good pieces on this topic this week.

It is pretty much a joke that she got in. But allegedly she sells tickets.

She was supposed to change women's golf, but now there are several teens/early 20s golfers that are more accomplished. It's amazing that Wie gets this much attention when she hasn't won a tournament -- not a single one -- since she won the US Women's Public Links when she was 13 or 14.

 

[hondo]

The LPGA got egg on the face when Wie played this week and Sorenstam didn't qualify. Other players are tired of the LPGA changing rules of eligibility for tournaments to get her in. I think she's at 14:58 and ticking.

 

[Beaker]

It's sad really how her father and others around her have completely mismanaged her career.

 

[Editude]

So she rallies with a 71 to finish 19th, 36 shots behind.

 

[Double Down]

Keep in mind too that she's never won a 72 hole stroke-play tournament at any level.

 

[Starman]

It's sad really how her father and others around her have completely mismanaged her career.

I still say the next time her parents or anybody else enters her in a men's tournament, she should walk out to the first tee, tee the ball up, walk 180 degrees around to the other side of the ball, wind up, drive the ball as hard as she can right through the plate glass window of the clubhouse, toss her bag and clubs into the nearest water hazard, storm off the course, and immediately retain independent legal counsel to sue her parents for willful career mismanagement.

Life has been pretty good in the world of distaff sports for two months or so:

-- Almost no Michelle Wie sightings on golf courses with grown-ups while she's been doing the Stanford thing.
-- A cool catfight between goalies on the U.S. women's soccer team.
-- Marion Jones is forced to fess up just ahead of the posse.
-- I only run across Danica Patrick when I visit GoDaddy.com to register domain names.

So when do the WNBA playoffs start?

Cadet and sportschick have no idea why they just swore loudly.

I just found a new use for the blast function.

Wie never got to be a teenage girl. It's always going to haunt her.

I think someone has pointed this out before, but it's worth pointing out again: even though Wie grew up in Hawaii, she's essentially South Korean. You have to understand the enormous level of respect kids (especially girls) are forced to show their parents in Korean culture. Emotionally, she could no sooner sue her parents than she could will herself to shoot 63 at this point. A rebellion like that, even if it would ultimately be in her self-interest, just isn't in her DNA.

That was just flat out funny.

And now her agent resigns...

But don't worry! Everything is fine! Nothing to see here!
