"I really don't know why Michelle continues to do this. We have a major this week and, if you can't qualify for a major, I don't see any reason why you should play with the men."
And Helen Alfredsson:
"I feel kind of sad for her. I think she's a very good person. I feel sad for the guidance that she seems to not have in the right direction."
The article points out that she is managed by her parents, a fact few of us will forget since her father went out of his way to score points with Korean nationalists back in 2006, telling the Chosun Ilbo:
“I’m well aware there that some say, since Michelle Wie is an American why is she making such a fuss. But you know what, the only thing about her that’s American is her passport, she is “definitely” Korean.”
As someone who is "definitely" American I don't take kindly to comments like that, and I can't decide which is worse: actually believing that, or having the gall to insult the US like that for the sake of a few bonus points among South Koreans. For a lengthier look at Wie's failures on the course, and her earlier run-ins with golf stars, take a look at ROK Drop's post on the topic from last year.
