Michelle Wie's scorecard gaffe
Written on Tuesday, July 22nd 2008
Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the last year, you've heard of Michelle Wie. Taking the LPGA by storm, she's amazing golfer and a great person. But some people think she's rising too fast and she hasn't payed her dues. Now they'll have one less thing to complain about.
At the LPGA State Farm Classic, Michelle Wie forgot to sign her scorecard after her win, which disqualified her from the tournament. Oops! A tough break for anybody, but especially a rising star like Michelle Wie.
I read one comment saying this is more a problem with the LPGA, and not Michelle Wie. Sure, technically she didn't sign her scorecard, but the outcome should be decided by actual play on the golf course, not in the score tent.
Michelle isn't letting this incident set her back. She already announced that she's going to play with the guys later this month! At the Legends Reno – Tahoe Open she will be playing on the PGA tour for the 8th time.
"It's not every day that a woman is given the opportunity to play on the greatest tour in the world," Wie said in a statement. "This is a tremendous opportunity for me to learn from these great players and take those lessons into the future to becoming the best player I can be on any tour. This is another step in the process of making me a better player".
