Michell Wie shoots 78 at Sony Open — currently second to last place
Michelle Wie may be playing with a wrist injury, but the repeated near-last-place performance against the men cannot be good for anyone’s psyche. Shooting 8-over (43-35) and placing near the bottom of the field so far is beginning to wear thin. Michelle’s a great talent, but it takes more than talent to perform well. It takes a smart game plan, and recognizing one’s shortcomings.
I just watched some highlights of Michelle’s first round. First of all, it looks like Michelle is still growing — she definitely looks bigger. Second, Michelle has a new putter and actually putted much better than before. This is a very positive sign. Unfortunately, her driver was pretty balky, and she hit the water and OB a couple times. Hopefully, she can put together a decent round tomorrow.
