Wow! Dead last two weeks in a row for Michell Wie. Has this ever happened before? Is this a record that she can add to her resume? Again, Wow!
I think this is her last PGA event of the year, but will she pick up where she left off next year?
A couple more last place finishes and she could own one of sport's unbreakable records - right up there with Cal Ripkin!
Maybe Nike should make her a visor with a big "L" on it - ha ha ha!
More sponsor's exemptions for Wie! The entertainment must continue! Man, I never knew golf could be so much fun to watch - its like a bad accident that you just have to look at!
I'm waiting eagerly to see if she says, "I'm only 16" yet again or "I'm still learning...".
Well, got to go. Suddenly I feel like listening to that old song: Go On, Take The Money And Run.

Yeah, Wie playing in PGA matches is a real joke (a bad one). She cant even beat other women, so why in the world is she playing against men? And by the way, if women are allowed to play in men's tournaments, why cant men play in the womens? Because the LPGA would cease to exist pretty shortly after the men started winning every tournament is why!

why are people so negative about wie? i understand that she is struggling badly right now against PGA players, but its very admirable that she is trying to break down the barriers and succeed at the PGA rather than the unwatched LPGA. i think its especially amazing that a 16 year old girl is taking on professional men. maybe she isn't a PGA caliber player yet and maybe she never will be but she is accomplishing something big. i guarantee other young girls watching wie will strive for the PGA in the future rather than accept relegation to the LPGA. why is everyone so negative about wie's efforts and so gleeful when she fails? like it or not, women in the PGA is the future of golf and wie is a pioneer.
EDIT: Craig, i agree that the excuses are excessive and immature. she is not a seasoned competitor and it is showing with her childish attitude. perhaps she should hire a professional manager instead of her father.

I think part of the reason for the Wie-bashing is that she doesn't help herself with her attitude and excuses.
Last month, it was the "heat stroke" that she suffered, which coincidentally happened as she was tanking her round. I'm not saying she was faking it, but I'm suspicious. And if it was real, then what does it say about her chances of competing when her conditioning at 16 isn't on par with the much older men?
In the last tournament, it was "too much homework" that distracted her and caused her to finish dead last. There's nothing wrong with failing, but she should try doing it with some dignity.

Get over it! You can't beat her, and if you had played in those tournaments she would have finished next to last, 10 strokes ahead of you. She's a rookie in the top 10, playing better than Natalie Gulbis and Morgan Pressel combined. I have a handicap of 22, there's no way, I would turn down a chance to play with Tiger, Phil, Vijay or even Furyk. Jealousy is a terrible thing.
