			<description> Comment from: John [Visitor]&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;She may have 0 wins but that No2 looks pretty good.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not as good as 4 wins and 3-1-1 at the Solheim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But definitely better than the 79 and 74 this past weekend. </description>

&lt;br /&gt;
As far as the rankings are concerned, I doubt the LPGA plans to make much use of them.&quot;..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jim, the LPGA helped create the Rolex criterior and intends to use it for year end event qualifying. This is their baby as much as Rolex. </description>

			<description>Paula was very consistent last year, particularly at the end of the season.  She had 8 top 3 finishes in 25 events. Her biggest hurdle this year will be the same as it was last year--Annika.  Since old events get less weight as far as getting points are concerned, but not as far as the divisor is concerned--Paula could lose some ground, but certainly not enough to be a problem for her. As far as the rankings are concerned, I doubt the LPGA plans to make much use of them.</description>

			<description>Wow, One-putt, that was well-stated!  I agree that Paula&#039;s consistency (or lack thereof) will be her biggest hurdle this year.  Michelle&#039;s biggest hurdle will be her first LPGA victory.  Pressel&#039;s will be a combination of the two, making her task more difficult.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Paula will actually find it difficult to fall out of the top five or ten, based upon last year.  Remember, the &quot;rankings&quot; (yes, i think they&#039;re bogus, but the LPGA muckety-mucks put weight on them) are for a two-year period and though her brilliant 2005 season will get less weight, Paula would have to play abysmally to lose much ground.  After all, she looked terrible for the first round or two of the Fields and came in T-11th.</description>

&quot;She may have 0 wins but that No2 looks pretty good.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not as good as 4 wins and 3-1-1 at the Solheim.&quot;...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No doubt Paula had a Rookie Year young golfers dream about. Two LPGA wins, two JLPGA wins, number two on the ADT money list and the S Cup performance were outstanding and showed some solid play. She dominated the Evian Masters and played one of the finest tournaments of her life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Paula will have to pick up her consistency or she will be overtaken by Lorena, Christie, or the Japanese or Korean gals who are hovering around the top. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Rolex standings reward consistency of play, not wins or money earned. It is based on a different standard that has become the most important statistic for LPGA members this year. Based on their Rolex position they will or will not qualify for many of the year end events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Michelle is not a LPGA member and in-turn not eligible for these events, no matter what her position on the list is.   &lt;br /&gt;

			<description>Wie Warriors, that&#039;s too nice a nickname for some of the pathetic posters here.  Wienies or Wie-Nuts are both more appropriate for some of the pathetic people who seem to think trashing Paula Creamer, or Morgan Pressel, or any of the other young stars will somehow elevate Michelle Wie to the top.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you losers were so confident, you&#039;d be content to let Michelle play her way to the top.  But instead, you just amplify your personal insecurities by trashing her so-called rivals.  Here&#039;s a fact - they&#039;ve all won something of note.  Another young player getting attention in the press, by the fans, doesn&#039;t mean your precious princess is losing anything.  All of you need to just grow up</description>
