So potentially eight on the LPGA money list (if she accepted the money) makes her a clown?

How much money money did you win Matt?

"If she had been a professional, her actual finishes would have given her earnings of $663,178, which at that time of the season would have placed her eighth on the 2005 money list"

She missed the cut at the Casio against 5th rate men's competition. Wie is an absolute clown.

michelle wie is a joke. I played junior tennis and did well winning a number of national tounaments. When I turned pro and lost in the the first round nobody used my age as an excuse. Wie has accomplished nothing and should be judged like everyone else, not by her potential, but by her results.

I read the same thing about the John Deere, which seemed very strange but very understandable for someone of only 15 years of age.

As regards Morgan Pressel that is a very simple story. She is a good young golfer and has lots of self confidence and really believes in herself. Those can be good qualities when it comes to success at the peak of her sport, but there is a downside. She is very obviously completely overcome by jealousy. You can understand in a way. She is young and this other young star, is getting all the attention, all the money and a glory that she craves for herself.

As regards the US Open, one bad final round in the year isn't a big deal. Funny how Pressel wasn't angry that the media didn't make a big deal out of Creamers bad final round 79.

People would like for her to win soon, but what have we got. The Casio in Japan, which she won't win, so it is next year before any chance arrises and I said before if she doesn't win, but has as great a year as this year then I would be well pleased. Making the cut at a pga tournament would cap it off nicely.

I think I heard on the Samsung telecast about her caddy's advice. I also read on the web that Michelle was trying to tie Mark Hensby at the John Deere when she double bogeyed and missed the cut. Hensby was the defending champ who had said she didn't belong there.

This blog is about Michelle's winless streak. Morgan Pressel in SI sais the media did not pay enough attention to Michelle's final round 82 at the US Open. Since the US Open there has been quite a media focus on Michelle's failure to win. Obviously it figures to be just a matter of time before she wins, but the pressure is there and she is just barely 16. With Mickelson this was an issue 4 tournaments a year--with Michelle it is there every tournament. If she won a Japan LPGA tournament, George might count it as something, but I'm sure Chris Baldwin wouldn't.

I think the problem may be that Michelle and her fans would love to see her win to show up her critics. She needs to just play her best and let the wins come when they will.

Norman, I agree.
