Finally! Michelle Wie Under Par!

Michelle Wie finally shot a round under par today in the 2nd round of the Evian Masters tournament in France. This was her first round under par in I think 24 rounds, during which her average score was something like 76, and doesn't even count the times she withdrew.

Yeah, it was only 1-under par, but still, hopefully a breakthrough in the confidence in her golf game? Let's hope so. She's doing okay in the tournament, at 7 shots behind the leader. Maybe 2 strong final rounds will get her in the Top 10.

I still have issues with her attitude and demeanor, but I still root for her. You just gotta!

Oppa do you golf? Mom says not to say anything if you don't have anything nice to say but I've seen her and her parents at the putting green where we golf and ... well I'm taking Mom's advice and not elaborating.
They should have their own fulfilled lives instead of being their daughter's Brinks guardsmen and let the girl play. And BJ should speak English when advising her on the greens when other players are in earshot. It's not like he doesn't know how to and comes off as intimidation and isolation.
I used to be a fan but now I don't care.

i used to golf in high school and college (eons ago) and then didn't play for a long time but i've been slowly trying to get back into the game. still a ways away!

and yeah, i agree about her dad. i know some people close to the wie camp and they all feel the way you do. i miss the old michelle who used to be happy go lucky and just had fun. she's so serious now.

Yes, she is in a tough situation right now. The novelty has worn off and now only the pressure to win is left. The only way to shut the critics up is to win.

I too am disappointed with her attitude and decisions. Not sure how much of it is her or her Wie machine.

Waiting for Kim Kim and Stephanie Kono to make it their splash in the LPGA.
