Rock, that is really great insight about Michelle.
Look, I have been a Wie basher, but for three main reasons. 1)I innately despise being told "I have to like someone" and I hate double standards and political correctness. 2) I really have a negative visceral reaction to what she says with a mike in front of her. "I think I'd just get bored" "It didnt feel like I shot 78" "But I'm having fun!" I have a problem with her attitude and worse her handlers' attitudes. I wrote about this on my website today, and I won't lie, I fired another full broadside as I have in the past. 3) I don't think its fair that she gets ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the favors without having earned them. Right now, she's more famous for being famous than famous for being a champion golfer. That offends the egalitarian in me.
I dare say, I think I just succinctly summed up what all the "Wie bashers" focus upon when they are unsupportive of Michelle.
Nevertheless, I cannot deny she has had chances to win. I will not deny that when she joins the LPGA tour, she would be part of the short list of stars and her play validates that now. No question she would be spoken of in the same breath as Annika, Pressel, Creamer, Gulbis, Inkster, etc. No question, she will win some LPGA majors...but she will not accomplish those things by trying to play two tours, let alone FOUR (Asian Men's, Euro men's, PGA, LPGA...what no L.E.T.?) Mind you, she would have to mend fences with the women she insulted and there have been several slights.
It's actually the subject of today's piece on my website. But you convinced me to be fair and write a constructive piece too...that'll be soon. After the masters.
You're right, Morgan had to birdie 18 at Cherry Hills, not par. That changes the equation significantly.
Happily for us both, I know all the GREAT places for burgers in NYC...sushi too. My Friends call me Jaygat's.
We'll have us some HUGE meaty, tasty burgers. As Samuel L said "I do love me the taste of a good burger. Do you know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese in France?"
Anyway...I wanna see Creamer v. Pressel down the stretch in a major.
Shame that it'll never happen cause its a same day three holer now, but I'd love to see them go mano a mano, pistols at dawn for the US Open title. Or the british.
I refuse to say "Weetabix British."
The "Captain Crunch British Open" "The Count Chocula PGA Championship." Can you envision the masters going "Cucko for cocoa puffs"
Weetabix British Open...Redonkyoulous!
