Michelle Wie followed up her opening round 78 with a 79 in round 2 of the European Masters in Switzerland. At least she's consistent. What exactly constitutes her being a 'Master,' anyway?
"I'm still in shock," Wie said. "I didn't know what sport I was playing out there. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed again. I really just couldn't get anything going."
"Now that I played a tournament this week, I feel I know what sport I'm playing," she said. "I'm really motivated for next week." (She is playing next week at the 84 Lumber Classic in Pennsylvania.)
"If I just play women's events, I only get better at women's events. I feel I have a good balance now."
Hmm. Apparently a grand total of zero victories on the women's tour and missing the cut for the ninth time in ten men's events denotes "good balance." Meaning she hasn't won anywhere? Oh, well, at least she now knows what sport she is playing. Or does she?
Spent half my life in North Dakota. The other half, so far, in the Valley of the Sun. As a kid, I was always playing, watching, reading, or writing about sports. I lost most of the "playing" along the way, but the rest remains the same. I pledge to refrain from commenting on a blog unless I've read it in its entirety. If I have time, of course.
Carry on.
