Open Letter to WorldGolf.com. Re: Michelle Wie

Please refer to exhibit A: If Michelle Wie Makes The Cut, I�ll Do a Jean Van de Velte and Wear a Skirt

�Is is with great sadness and regret that I will be unable to wear the aforementioned skirt, complete with green and blue flowers, because women�s golf�s answer to Tiger Woods couldn�t get out of her own way.� Signed, Bruce

Teasing the golf world with a one over par first round of 73, Michelle Wie followed it up on day two with a quintuple-bogey 9 on the eight hole to push her score to 9-over 153 at the par 72 Montreux Golf & Country Club. This left her tied for 118th and 23 shots out of first. At least she can say she beat David Duval (that�s another story for another time).

According to the budding PGA Tour star:

�I feel my game is a lot better. Obviously the score doesn�t show it, but I know what I need to work on,� Wie said. �I gave it my best today and I felt like I did a lot of good things and hopefully that outshines the ones I made mistakes on.�

It is so charming the pure idealism that is on display.

Not to be stopped on her quest, she leaves the door open to more stupid choices in the future:

�I think if I played a couple (PGA events) in a row, it would be a different story. It�s just hard to play one and then one maybe a year later,� she said. �I think if I played eight in a row and I missed all eight, that would be a different story.�

I�m so looking forward to the 9th, and 10th and 11th attempts.

How will she entertain us then?
