Ian O’Connor, in USAToday:
As for Jeff Gove, the John Deere playing partner who roasted Wie for being “inconsiderate” enough to suffer from heat exhaustion and slow down his megastar career, here’s a question: How many tickets did you sell for that tournament?
Wie isn’t just the biggest attraction in golf; she was also tough enough and long enough off the tee to outplay 81 men in a recent U.S. Open qualifier, including a few who have been on a Masters leaderboard (Len Mattiace, James Driscoll and Ricky Barnes). Wie finished one shot behind Mark O’Meara, former Masters and British Open winner. She finished three shots ahead of her playing partner, David Gossett, the former U.S. Amateur champ who once won … drumroll, please … the John Deere Classic.
