Evian Masters

Yeah, well me too.

One hundred percent agreement on this. I don't think it's fair to say she's been "choking" this year. She's put herself into position to win in just about every tournament she's played, but there's always someone there (usually Karrie Webb, apparently) that plays her a stroke better.

To use a David Duval analogy... for a LONG time DD was the best player out there to not win a tournament. But when he finally did, man, that guy won everything in sight. Of course, he faded shortly afterwards... but that was due to injury, plus him just not really wanting all the attention. The thing with Wie is... she wants that attention. And she'll get plenty more of it when she starts winning, which will be soon.

She's simply getting beat this year, not choking - and barely being beat at that.

Yeah, no kidding. How in the world do you accuse a 16-year-old girl of choking who consistently racks up top five finishes in major professional tournaments?

How about this for the next poll question: Of whom does the golfing public have the more skewed perspective and unrealistic expectations? Tiger or Michelle?

Go ahead and make the poll if you want... It may be a catch 22, though: if you have unrealistic expectations, you're not going to realize they're unrealistic.
