    Well, She was injured back then, Most likely she will be in contention, i don't know about winning, she is close is just a matter of time, Ms. Wie, keep pulling that driver.... it will get straigthen out for sure, and when it does well, she will be unbeatable, so Keep pulling that driver from your bag and don't be holding back, Just simply Grip it and Rip it... thats what, what people wants to see... I don't think anybody in LPGA is as long as Ms. Wie, Ms. Laura Davis was long also, but now only Ms. Wie can drive the ball longer. Right Ms. Wie really needs those long drives, because in LPGA she is the only besides Paula Creamer are capable of keeping the tour alive. and If Ms .Wie don't win this week, its ok is long season... if not this year is next year, In rgards to Solhiem cup point, well she has to win outright to be on the team... Look they overlook Cristina Kim last, even though she did contribute big time the e evnt before that, so Ms Wie ans Ms. Kim had to qualify outright to get on the team...Solhiem Cup team.. Ms Kim should be on the team, Ms Wie still has more stuff to do in order to be on the top ten, forget about getting Captain Picks, it will not happened.. to many marquee players ahead of Ms Wie, those are great players. in Like of Ms Diaz and the other Great lady, can't recall her names but she is great .
    Well thats my take this week..
    Good Luck Ms. Wie
    thanks

    So which one of you have won anything in your life? A spelling bee contest in 7th grade doesn't count.

Michelle.. keep it up... there's a very bright horizon in front of you... don't mind your critics.. they are only doing there job so do yours as well. Play golf well all the time. Good luck.

    LPGA needs magnetic talent like Michelle to be on the leader board during the weekends... if not... with the economy still shaking... many may follow Lexus... So, Go Michelle!

    She should be renamed Michelle Wii.
    Hyped up beyond belief and universally popular, but once the novelty wore off, you realized the games weren't that good.

    sounds like a bunch of jealous crybabies cause they aint got the game she has--ask any touring pro,be it men or women--they will tell you it aint easy winning a tournament and it dont matter who you are or how good you are
    things have to line up just right to get to the winners circle--if Michelle just sticks to what got her here in the first place--she WILL win at some point and then all you detractors will have to jump on the next up and coming young star and berate her with all your so-called wisdom

    Hey flaybum...
    Like Danica Patrick?
    I do not argue that Wii is 10 times the golfer I am. But the hype machine that surrounds her is what we are mocking. She brings it on herself when she enters PGA tournaments before she's even won on the LPGA.
    People are saying 'wake me up when she wins something' because we are tired of the hype and the press that still shoves her in our face every day.

    All the hype about Michelle is not her, it is her parents and the media, Give the Lady a chance and pray that soon she will have a say about her own life. Kick mommy and daddy dearest to the curb...........

    Sounds pretty dumb to me. Perhaps you should consult Superman. I believe he is a noted grammarian with a knowledge of religious phraseology.
