Good for Michelle. The media hyped her up so fast, and she kept buckling under the pressure of this made-up hype.
She finally wins, so hopefully these idiots will actually REPORT on her instead of hounding her and let her play.
I get so disgusted at these TV intellectuals and how they constantly prop up and tewar down athletes for their own ratings.
Did you listen to the "expert" commentators during the Golf Channel broadcast? On the par-5 eighteenth, Michelle was in the bunker in two. The announcers were gabbing, gabbing, gabbing. "She's thirty yards from the pin, she should use a lob-wedge from the trap." "No a pitching wedge or she'll hit it thin." And on and on.
Sorry to say Dottie Pepper was in on this second-guessing (I for one am glad she's ending her assignment at TGC). Michelle just simply thumped a sand-wedge to a foot of the cup for a tap in birdie.
The announcers were just taken aback that Wie would hit such a career shot under that sort of pressure.
Then the bozo comes up to Michelle within ten seconds of dropping the putt to ask the most stupid questions in the history of broadcasting ("Did Christie Kerr give you assistance out on the course today?", which of course is largely illegal).
I agree, my previous post was not a slam on Wie...
