So Tiger doubles the first hole at Oakmont he should get DQ'd? I see where you're going but your idea wouldn't work.

Apples and oranges. One completed hole as opposed to 16 ? Not even sure if the PGA has that rule. I'll say no.

Another tournament, another score in the 80s for Wie...

Park takes the lead as Wie matches her highest score ever

SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. -- Michelle Wie was in good company at the U.S. Women's Open, but in the worst way.

In a rugged start to the biggest event in women's golf, the 17-year-old from Hawaii continued her free fall Thursday by hitting only four fairways and matching her highest score ever in this championship with an 82.

"I know I'm a better player than this," Wie said.

----down to the bottom of the story------

Wie, however, looked as though she wanted to be anywhere but Pine Needles. Even after she rapped in a 2-foot par putt for her 82nd stroke of the round, she barely mustered a smile.

It was similar to the 83 she shot in the third round at the LPGA Championship, where she finished in last place by 10 shots with her highest 72-hole score as an amateur or a pro. She played without a brace on her left wrist, and her injury seemed to be the least of her worries the way she slashed out of the Bermuda rough, often the case from hitting only four fairways.

"All I need is the confidence to play well," she said. "And I just need to see one round where all my shots are where I want them to be. Then after that, it's a done deal. I just need to see it."

But she also seemed to be in denial that her game is in disrepair. It was her 21st consecutive round without breaking par against men or women, and tied her highest score in the U.S. Women's Open. She also shot 82 in the final round at Cherry Hills two years ago.

"It's very frustrating because I know I played better than this," Wie said. "It's just a very fine line between shooting 69 and shooting what I shot today."

You'd think the story would be about the leader, instead it wastes nearly half it's length on Michelle Wie and her struggles.....

She's 17 and you guys have already given up on her. Give me a break. She'll be just fine once she figures out how to live and play on her own and get away from the influence of her stupid father. If there is anyone to rip on it is that guy, not her. (making 3 and 4 footers will help too)

I haven't given up on her, but I have given up on her handlers.....they've pushed her way to far (she's complicit too) and her confidence and by extension her game, are shot.

She's Ty Tryon without the God given equipment.....

He lost his endorsements and eventually lost any eligibility on the PGA and is now playing on the Gateway Tour.

Ochoa leads, Wie misses cut at British

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) ? Lorena Ochoa shot a 73 Friday to lead by one stroke after the second round of the Women's British Open, while Michelle Wie is heading for another missed cut after shooting an 80.

Ochoa missed a 4-foot par putt at the 18th at the Old Course for 6-under 140 total with Wendy Ward (70) and Catriona Matthew (68) tied for second.

"I am very pleased with my round ? except for three-putting at 18," said Ochoa, who is chasing her first major. "There's nothing I can do about that now. I am just glad that I have the lead."

Wie, who had showed signs she was getting over her left wrist injury with a 73 on Thursday, finished at 7-over 153. The projected cut is at 4 over.

Missing the cut on the first women's professional event to be played at the home of golf would be another blow for the 17-year-old from Hawaii. She missed the Kraft Nabisco with an injury, finished last at the LPGA Championship and withdrew after playing only nine holes of the second round of the U.S. Women's Open after shooting 82 in the first round. Last week, she tied for 69th at the Evian Masters.

This from the guy who said I was being immature and innapropriate for calling PSU the fighting Amaechi's.

So its mature and appropriate to bash a teenage girl but wrong to make fun of a gay guy. :roll1:
