I also realize that I'm a little late sounding off about Michelle Wie, so, please bear with me. The saddest part of her DQ, which should have NEVER happened, is that she will never have another chance to compete in her FIRST professional event. The way the LPGA handled this situation is probably why Annika did not get the recognition she deserved. The DQ seemed to come in a vindictive way born from envy. Regardless how they try to gloss over this, Michelle has been called a cheater by Michael Bamberger, Sports Illustrated and the LPGA. How could anyone defend themselves against a charge from at least 30 hours after the "fact." The LPGA taking the word of a washed up "journalist" smacks of a real lack of integrity. I guess you cannot "un-rape" someone! I know that nothing will ever be done to rectify this injustice to Michelle Wie. That's why great athletes like Annika, Paula, Morgan and others will forever be under a shadow of "who really cares" if you have to defeet your rival via a back door slam. Have you noticed that NOT ONE LPGA player has said one word FOR Michelle, That kind of says it all! I've said my peace. Thanks 7-under I'm a little late finding this blog - - - I like it.
