Look for his work ethic and solid game to continue to deliver high finishes for years to come.

I'm just not sure that Wie has it in her (psychologically) to be as dominant as Annika has been.

I like short term reachable goals and also a long term goal. I think the best advice is as you said in that last paragraph and I wish she would do it.

You are right about his accuracy and length. The only thing about Luke's game that isn't quite there yet is his putting. He improved PA 50 spots from 2004-2005 (133rd to 83rd) and is off to a good start this year at 69th, but I still would like to see him in the top 30 like Verplank.

I was wondering if Luke Donald is someone that Wie's game could be modeled after. Donald isn't a long bomber, but he's accurate and scores well. Great analysis.
