I’ll say it first: Wie’s a choker
Though perhaps not as terrible a label as “cheater,” the label “choker” is one that every athlete surely hopes to avoid. But, after her bogey, bogey finish to miss the cut in Japan (and a number of other late round melt-downs in big spots), I am ready to hang the choker label on Michelle Wie.
Of course, it is terrible to put this caustic label on a 16-year-old developing golfer. But when you now earn a million dollars just for showing up, you have to start dealing with adult criticisms.
