Sometimes in sports you see something happen, and it's a pretty transcendent moment -- Jordan going off for 63 against Bird and the Celtics, Tiger at Augusta in '97.
I wonder if we'll look back at this weekend at Rich Harvest and think the same thing about the Big Wie-sy.
I saw a player:
-- Hitting some shots that no other female player in the game seems capable of;
-- Playing incredibly good golf, under (easily) the biggest spotlight of any of the 24 players competing;
-- Playing really good golf in tremendous pressure situations, sometimes put there by her partners, sometimes by her opponent, e.g., her approach for an eagle on the second hole, after Alfredsson had stuffed one to three feet, is one of the great pressure shots I've ever seen, by any player.
-- Having a lot of fun.
Does anyone think she wasn't the best, most compelling player out there? If it's like pick-up basketball, and you're the captain, and you've your pick of any of those 24 players for a three-day match-play tourney, does anyone not pick here first?
