[AmSpec Blog] The American Spectator : Why Wie: Me, I wish she'd settle down to pay her dues by playing insponsor exemption events on the LPGA Tour, the way Tiger Woodsearned his place on the PGA Tour by playing late-season tourneys in1996 and winning twice in a matter of months. Wie has unbelievableabilities.

[Posted Sports] Golf: Woe is Michelle Wie: During the second round, Wie violates Rule 13-4 at the 14th hole by “touching the ground in a hazard prior to making a stroke.” She is penalized two strokes and finishes the event tied for 26th. Prior to this she had finished in the top five in five of the last six majors.

[Golf for Beginners] Golf for Beginners - Is Q-School ready for Michelle Wie?: Two years ago you were absolutely certain that Bubbles would win the Evian and the British Open back-to-back.As for Bubbles making it through "Q" school, since she has at least as much natural ability as anyone else in the field, and a huge amount more experience in tournament play than any of the others, I'd say that she SHOULD make it with flying colors.

[Inquirer Sports - Joe Logan] On Golf: When will Michelle Wie wise up? | Philadelphia Inquirer ...: True, the Reno-Tahoe Open is one of the more forgettable events on the PGA Tour calendar, a weak-field event whose fate it is to go on at the same time as the higher-profile World Golf Championship-Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio. That is where the stars of the game will be - minus Tiger, of course - next week, not with Wie in Reno-Tahoe.

[Answers.com: Birthdays Today] Michelle Wie: Biography from Answers.com: Prior to the withdrawal, LPGA rules officials were seen discussing the Rule of 88, which states that a non-LPGA member who shoots a score of 88 is forced to withdraw and is subsequently banned from LPGA co-sponsored events for the remainder of the year. Neither Wie nor the LPGA officials stated that her withdrawal was in response to the Rule of 88 and Wie said that she withdrew because she "tweaked [her] wrist in the middle of the round a bit."

[About.com Golf: Most Popular Articles] It's Time for Wie to Give Up the PGA Tour: And we've seen frustration creep into her play on the LPGA, where late in a couple tournament this year Wie has been seen slapping her thigh or slamming a club into the ground. Maybe there's no connection between those showings of temper, but to me it seems all of a piece: what she goes through flailing around on the PGA Tour has to carry over into a greater need to win on the LPGA, and more frustration when that doesn't happen.

[Golf Gear News] Golf Gear News - Michelle Wie's Return to the LPGA is a Non-Event: Myself and the random few who questioned Michelle's career path, desire to win and overall game were blasted on this site for years for simply suggesting that she was not as she appeared--Now here we are years later and she is still winless and further away from ever making a cut, let alone contending on the PGA level and yet bloggers are still hyping her as if she is the second coming...Hey we all back the wrong horse sometimes. I actually thought Ryan Leaf would be a better NFL quarterback than Peyton Manning.

[Last Rites - LastRites's Blog - Bakersfield.com] Wie bit of criticism: That smacks of using Michelle Wie to full advantage and then pulling the rug out, in my humble opinion. All these people make ridiculous sums of money from advertisers who build up celebrities in order to hawk their products to bums like you and me.

[Top 100 Teachers] Top 100 Teachers: It's not too late for Michelle: There is no cookie cutter formula for Athletes and it is their individuality that makes us love or hate them;controversy is very much a part of sports, golf being no exception,it takes talent to be noticed and Wie certainly has it.

[The Golf Blog] The Golf Blog: TGB money line of the day: As for Jeff Gove, the John Deere playing partner who roasted Wie for being "inconsiderate" enough to suffer from heat exhaustion and slow down his megastar career, here's a question: How many tickets did you sell for that tournament?

[Bunker Mentality] Bunker Mentality | ChicagoSports | Blog: As some one who lives in the Quad Cities, where the John Deere classic is held, I have had the misfortune of having to watch Wie take up a spot the last 2 years. I would like to let the golf watching public know that her entrance into the tournament is viewed with contempt and anger by the true golf fans in the area.
