Michelle Wie (born October 11, 1989) is an up-and-coming player in the world of competitive golf. She is 15 years old.

Born in Honolulu, Hawaii of Korean descent, she began playing the game of golf at the age of four. In 2000, at the age of ten, she became the youngest player to qualify for a USGA amateur championship when she made the field at the USGA Women's Amateur Public Links Championship. Two years later, she would be a semifinalist at the same event, the youngest to ever do so.

In 2002, Wie became the youngest player to qualify for an LPGA event, the LPGA Takefuji Classic. In 2003, she shot a 66 in a round at the Kraft Nabisco Championship, tying the amateur record for a women's major championship. She also won the Women's Amateur Public Links in 2003, becoming the youngest person ever to win a USGA event for adults.

since you dont know her!

I guess sometimes i forget we arent all in the usa :thumbsup

It's not yet her time, she should wait for her turn. Just be patient!

At her age, she still impresses me. Besides, she's a fine looking girl. :winkwink:

She shouldn't be held to a lower stanard... and she wasn't.

And you're crossed because she thought she'd done it right and would do it the same way if she thought she was right? Boo Who.

Should she have cried and apologized profusely for cheating and vowed to never to it again? Would that have made you "feel better"?

This thread needs pictures

How about a simple "After looking back I made a mistake. I wont make the same mistake again"

and about the higher standard....i mentioned that in reply to the people who said..."she's just a kid"

Guess you missed her next few sentences...


I really think you're upset she didn't cry over ~$55K.

I heard it all...she saved a little face at the end by saying in her last sentence that she would get a rules official from now on...

But that was after the previous 6 sentences were about how she didnt do anything wrong.

1 sentence to the point would have sufficed. It came off as ...I was right, this is unfair....next time i'll use a rules official ass holes. I mean listen to the tone. I just figured she has "pr" people already who would have told her to be short and sweet and come off likeable.

She's got a lot to learn and I dont see how you can really defend those comments...unless you guys have a little crush on her :winkwink:

where's woj?

dammm dude cut her a break, she's 16, most of us haven't even reach pubery by then. :(

HAHA my Olsen Twins countdown got some good press. Perhaps its time for me to embark on the Michelle Wie one too. :)

Yeah that's it.

At the end of the day, though -- you're the one that's gone on for two days about the comments made by a 16 year old after she was DQ'd. I'll bet she's given it less thought after the "infamous" press conference, than you have.

That's sad.

hehe...i mentioned it once about 24 horus ago and have defended my comments when questioned...nothing more
