The Big Wiesy

Michelle Wie has been hammered by many, my friends included, how she speaks on television. I think we all forget that she's actually not bad for being a youngster. I never had a microphone shoved into my face at any time during my teenage years, so it's too much for us to expect Michelle Wie to speak with the eloquence of James Bond. She did make a very intelligent counterpoint to Jean Van de Velde -- greatest choker of all time or most idiotic golfer -- that men should be allowed to compete in the Women's British Open.


According to ESPN, "My perspective on this is that the British Open is not called the Men's British Open, it is the British Open," she said. "The PGA, it's called the Professional Golfers' Association. There is no men's Professional Golfers' Association whereas the LPGA is called the Ladies Professional Golfers' Association and the British Open is called the Women's British Open so I think it is very clear." You go girl! I'm rooting for you and the other seoul sisters on tour.
