Michelle Wie shoots 79, dead last — did she deserve exemption over Natalie Gulbis or Annika?
Ron Sirak blasts Samsung’s decision to give Michelle Wie an exemption in the 20-player tournament over Natalie Gulbis, who has won this year.
“The spot that would have gone to Sorenstam then went to the player next in line on the LPGA money list, which happened to be Sarah Lee. Now, the person who really gets burned by the Wie exemption is Natalie Gulbis who, if Wie were not in the field, would have gotten the spot as next on the money list behind Lee. So a player who won this year and is one of the best box office draws on tour gets knocked out of the tournament by a player who has not finished better than T-69. Anyone want to explain that to me?”
