Actually Michelle hasn't proven anything in the LPGA.
She won the Publinks US Amateur when she was 13 but she hasn't won anything in the last 3 years.
I can't for the life of me understand what she is doing trying out for PGA events...all she is doing is wasting celebrity value...she was in 149th spot yesterday when they took her away in an ambulance...
I've enjoyed the experience of two daughters going from age 14-18...believe me the use of enjoy was sarcasm... Michele may become the greatest woman golfer ever...but she and her "camp" are woefully mismanaging her career. Tiger's career would have been a perfect model for Michelle.
Danica on the other hand is a mature young lady and is definitely talented...but in NASCAR..."bump and grind" has a meaning with which I am sure Danica is unfamiliar.
Now of course they're free to do whatever they like, but one would think they'd at least win something before claiming nothing is left for them to prove. And if they fail at the next level, they've certainly burned the bridge behind them. Perhaps the sponsor dollars are large enough to make the risk worthwhile.
IMHO, somebody is trying to sell Wie as more than just a female golfer ... and don't get me wrong, from what I've seen she has the skill set to be a great one ... and to be doing that to her at her age and at this point in her career is a disservice.
She has commented
on that. She said the rubbing [!]
in NASCAR reminds
her of her kid days
in go-carts. She said she could
get used to it fine . . .
Five top-ten finishes in ten major appearances. That proves something, doesn't it? While she must win before she can truly be declared great, she is clearly one of the elites.
