BACK TO SCHOOL
Having apparently failed to earn the equivalent of 80th-place earnings on the 2008 LPGA Tour money list over the course of six sponsor-exemption starts (plus the U.S. Women’s Open), it seems that Michelle Wie will enter LPGA Tour Q School next week. Ironically, the one-time ultra-phenom’s first stage will be contested over the same Mission Hills Country Club Dinah Shore course upon which she first came to international fame in 2003 when, as a 13-year-old eighth grader, she played in the final Sunday group at the Kraft Nabisco Championship before ultimately tying for 9th. A subsequent win at the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links, plus five top-5 finishes in a span of six 2005-06 Major championship starts seemed to suggest a superstar future for Wie – before wrist injuries, rules violations (inadvertent) and, perhaps, enrolling full-time as student at Stanford utterly derailed her during 2007 and most of ’08.
Of course, the otherwise engaging Wie hasn’t helped her P.R. cause by continuing to accept the occasional sponsor exemption into various men’s professional events (including August’s Reno-Tahoe Open), an increasingly carnival-like spectacle given that with the exception of the 2004 Hawaiian Open, she has seldom even caught a whiff of making a cut.
And now?
Perhaps a trip through Q School might be just what this still-prodigious talent needs to get re-focused (though I’ve heard several knowledgeable professionals suggest a return to the pre-David Leadbetter swing of her early teens might be the real key). Personally, despite the obviously bad career advice she’s received from family and/or the good folks at William Morris, I find myself still rooting for Wie. She’s still capable of injecting a level of star power into LPGA events that numerous more accomplished players cannot, plus I’ve got a soft spot for her following in Mickey Wright’s illustrious footsteps by trying to blend a Stanford education with a professional golf career. Of course, the great Mary Kathryn pitched college after a couple of years, ultimately returning some 10 years – and 63 LPGA victories – later, when her mind was apparently more keenly focused on the intellectual job at hand.
Should she graduate Q School, might Michelle Wie be bound for a similar path?
