Tired of Michelle Wie?

In a few short years Michelle Wie has gone from a teenage phenom to a sports writers human punching bag thanks to a golf game that is never more than a couple of strokes away from catastrophe. Originally presented to the media by her stage father B.J. as a youngster who could hit the ball 300 yards, Michelle has since been a textbook in futility trying to live up to all the hyperbole heaped upon her. Now that it appears that her reputation is in permanent tatters, all the naysayers can rest comfortably satisfied in the knowledge they were right all along.

The question should be who allowed a girl with all the natural ability in the world fall to the level of self-immolation? Responsibility certainly lies at the feet of her sponsors Nike and Sony, along with greedy tournament directors in search of a cash cow who enter Wie in mens PGA events way over her head. But most of all, the blame sits with the Wie family themselves who continue to market her as a female Tiger Woods, a now 18 year-old who has not won a single LPGA event and is allowed to enter tournaments only through the wizardry of sponsors exemptions.

With a complete golfing mismatch in place everyone stands back to watch as the unintentional comedy ensues. Each time Michelle Wie "swings for the fences" her mechanics brake down. And each time that happens her ball has an uncanny ability to end up rebounding off of rocks, trees, plants and animals. A long par 5 suddenly becomes a double, triple, quadruple bogey and the knee-slapping guffaws from weekend duffers can be heard in clubhouses throughout the land.

So in the end will this be the final fate of Michelle Wie, to be a asterisk in the record books and a comedic foil and source of loathing for golf "purists.?" Perhaps.

i dont understand why she enters PGA Tour events when she cant even win a LPGA Tour event. I really want her to just go away and take her game back to LPGA Tour where she belongs.

I had to hear how great she is... over and over... how she's going to do amazing things and play in the Masters and change the women's game and yada, yada, yada...

Now I get to enjoy her demise, and missing cuts and shooting 80+.

She may not have gotten into the Women's British, she had to qualify... She's 18 now, 19 in October... There are better, younger, more accomplished players than her on the LPGA Tour. She's the Anna Kournikova of golf.

You know, I've been a supporter of the kid for a while now but now I'm about to throw in the towel. To pass up qualifying for the British Open to get some bucks to appear in a men's tourney just stinks. She keeps making the wrong moves again and again and now she's gotten to be a damn joke. It's too bad - we will never know how good she could have been.

I think she's making a fool of herself by playing on the PGA tour.

Get Lorena Ochoa or Paula Creamer to try and play the men's tour then That would be good television!

While it is fascinating to see women play in the PGA tournaments, Wie hasn't been focusing enough on the LPGA. She is a good golfer, but needs to work more in the LPGA before playing more in the PGA. She is just going to keep setting herself up for defeat and dissapointment.

any mens event with michelle wie is irrelevant to me. in fact any event involving women golfers is irrelevant. the meaning of the word golf prohibits women from playing. Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden. lets get them back in the kitchen and away from the golf course. playing behind 2 women always turns a 4 hour round into a 5 hour round with there blatant lack of etiquette.

she getting some bad advice she should have play in LPGA British open

I'm sick to death of her.
