Is she maturing? At least Michelle Wie shows up to finish her humiliation

Remember when Michelle Wie quit at the Ginn Tribute last year when she was in danger of shooting an 88? That would have made her ineligible for LPGA events the rest of the year.

What made it worse was the injury she cited was vague and questionable – she was seen practicing not long afterward for the LPGA Championship – and the tournament was hosted by Annika Sorenstam, one of the most gracious golfers ever.

Wie’s abrupt departure and subsequent practice time riled up even the polite Sorenstam, who said it showed a lack of respect.

This time, at the Women’s U.S. Open, Wie showed up for Saturday’s conclusion of the second round, even though she had no chance of making the cut and only had one hole to play – the ninth, on which she scored a 9 on Thursday.

Not to mention the fact she had to get up at an ungodly time of morning.

Still, she showed up and this time made a par.

It was too little too late for her game, but it might have signaled some progress in her maturation process.

Maybe.

she was probably told that she had to finish by her handlers.
