I predict by the end of the season Michelle won't get a top 10 all year and she will not even finish the season. She will only plat a couple of PGA events because she can't cut it and the Sponsers are afraid to invite her for fear of what is going on already with her and her ADVENTURES.,
It's sad to say She's finished.

This LPGA Championship is Wie and more Wie.

And don't you love it.

"this is the first time there's been any type of false accusation about me."

Does this mean that all the other accusations have been true ones? Never has a golf star fallen so far, so fast. Welcome to the LPGA's version of Ty Tryon.

Wow to say Bivens was insulting to her. Isn't that kind of like biting the hand that feeds you? She should be kissing Bivens feet for saving her last week. This young lady is as classless as it gets. I can't even understand why she has fans because she looks so miserable out on the course. She probably played that pro-am like the Ams were bothering her. Then again why should she do her best to show the LPGA in a good light? She acts like they should be grateful to have her presence in 8 tournaments a year. Why try to impress potential sponsors in a pro-am? LOL!

Bivens refused to do anything to save Michelle Wie last week. Withdrawing with an injury was an option that Michelle which the LPGA could not legally deny, nor could they legally enforce a ban if she did so. But I would imagine that Bivens could have recognized that Michelle was playing hurt and waived the rule in her case so she could finish without any fear of a one year ban. Obviously she refused to do so. And don't think that Annika's attack on Michelle for her withdrawl was done against the wishes of Bivens.

I am sure Wie's partners in the pro-am payed plenty for the privelge--none of which went to Michelle. With Michelle's horrible outing last week, the value of a round of golf with her must have seemed a lot less than people had anticipated. Add to that the controversy around her withdrawl which must have made Michelle anything but a happy camper, and it is not surprising that the group was not all sweetness and light.
If Bivens wanted Michelle Wie to be a gracious hostess in this week's pro am, then she should have really stood up for her last week, giving her an exemption to the 88 rule that did not necessitate her witdrawl, focussing any resulting criticism on herself and not the player. Maybe then Michelle Wie could have been in a better mood and better able to give her playing partners a more pleasurable experience.

Wow Jim everyones fault except Michelle. It's nice to see you're another one of those fans who wants to bend the rules for her! Maybe she'll get the chance to redeem herself this week and waive the rule. LOL!

I believe Michelle said that the accusation was insulting, not her conversation with Bivens. She hasn't commented on the private conversation between her team and Biven, which as it should would remain private.

She said the accusations were insulting not the conversation.

Jon,

Bubbles won't make the Hall of Fame the way she's going.

The amateur playing partners of bubbles in the pro-am events of both the Ginn Tribute and at Bulle Rock were affronted by Bubbles' boorish conduct. To what do you attribute their feelings that they were snubbed by Bubbles? Canspiracy? Racism? What?

Yesterday, head LPGA rules official had to order BJ, Bo, and Bubbles' physical therapist off the practice range. They left after a heated exchange. These characters know the rules, but apparently they don't think the rules apply to them. Or do you believe that the LPGA official is singling them out for harassment because of their Asian heritage or some such other nonsense?

Bubbles obviously has forgotten the time-honored Korean tradition of respect for her elders and superiors.

Hate to say I told you so, but I think there's a canny reality-tv strategy to get attention to the LPGA being played out and played up by all involved--and we're the ones eating it up and guaranteeing it'll continue.

I just look forward to Wie and Sorenstam getting back to 100% health-wise so we can see how they really stack up against the 35 or so people playing far better than they are i 2007.

Funny that the LPGA was happy to promote Wie when she was coming in 2nd and 3rd and bringing in all that NIKE money. Now that she has a few bad outings suddenly she is the enemy, they are scolding her etc. Wie is the monster that they created. They gave her all the exemptions etc. How can they now pretend that she is such a problem. When you bet your league on a 14 year old this is what you get. They should have been promoting Creamer and Gulbis (sp?) and Ochoa. Now any momentum the LPGA has is lost.

i don't think any one particular athelete can be greater than any given sport.
was babe ruth greater than baseball ?
was his airness for basketball ?
how about ali for boxing... in all field of sports, there will always be great players...great players come and go. the torch gets passed from one generation to the next.. what endures and will last forever.. is the sport itself.. lpga was there before mw and will be there long after mw..
but really truly great players in any given sports are only once or twice once every other generation.

and in your old age, you'll be able to debate with your family and friends.. who was the better athelete?
was ali better than rocky and babe better than ted and magig and larry and so on and ad infinatum...

in closing.. i'd like to say, let's hope and pray michelle lives up to all of our expectations. it'll be some of the greatest moments to witness in any sport... were it to happen.
