Wie Shoots 1 Over 73 in First Round of Reno-Tahoe Legends
The talk of the golf world today seemed to be concentrated on Michelle Wie’s first round at the Reno Tahoe PGA tournament. Forget about the fact that most of the great players of the PGA are playing in the World Golf Championships at the Bridgestone invitational, and the LPGA is wrapped up in the women’s British Open across the pond. No, the PGA web site features Michelle on the front page in rotator header graphics with Retief Goosen and Juli Inkster.
Geez, you would think that she was tearing up the field over in Reno.
The fact is that after the first round, Michelle is tied for 76th place with a round of one over 73. In fact, it is hard to find the leaderboard of this tournament on the PGA web site to determine who is in first place. Here is a minute by minute description of every shot Michelle Wie took today. It is this kind of thing that really must piss off PGA members.
Granted, playing in a PGA tournament these days must be a high-pressure situation for Michelle, considering the fact that she has not won one tournament in three years playing against the ladies. You have got to give her credit for her unbelievable confidence in her abilities. If Michelle does make the cut on this one, just wait for the media attention. Although she is 0-8 in her attempts to even make the cut in the PGA tournaments she has played thus far.
Well, gotta go. The golf channel will have good coverage tonight on Michelle’s round. No one is immune to the Wie spell.
