Her third place finish in 2006 is her best showing so far but we haven't seen the last of her in USGA events.The big question is "When will she grow up and stop using past injuries as her excuse?"
I am so tired of reading the reports of yet another missed cut or sub-standard performance. Does she actually think up the stuff she says or is it spoon fed to her by her handlers. All she actually needs to say is "I didn't play well and I'll be working on my game until I get to the next event." Admittedly that would be the same interview over and over and over again, but it would be better than listening to the inane drivel that she spouts now.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big believer of Michelle's potential to bring new interest to the LPGA Tour but she comes across as such an air head, which as a Stanford student she clearly isn't.
I picked the wax museum picture on purpose because that's how she appears to be - a wax dummy with a pre-recorded voice. Hopefully she will start to listen to her sound bites and get some maturity in her communications skills.
I'm still expecting great things from Michelle Wie but she needs to stop whining and start winning.
