Sundays usually mean NFL football, but today it means
Michelle Wie's final round in her professional debut on the LPGA.
It's her first step on the road to becoming the first regular woman player on the PGA, one of her stated professional goals.
Right at the moment, they have a rain delay, but was any other Kossack watching the 16-year-old girl turning pro? This is like watching Tiger Woods 10 years ago, only better.
I mean, Tiger went to Stanford, played amateur for years. His coming was foreseen, maybe the degree of his dominance wasn't, but folks knew he was coming.
This Wie, she's a freaking phenomenon, having only won her first amateur event -- US Women's Amateur Public Links, youngest champ ever and youngest ever to qualify for an LPGA event -- less than 3 years ago. That's a meteoric rise.
Of course, some say the girl doesn't know how to close the deal, doesn't know how to win, and her current tie for third in her professional debut advances that argument. I think she'll learn how to do it soon. Still, she needs to work those fast-twitch muscles, bulk up a bit and get that drive out to 285+ yards to compete with the men in the PGA.
I think it's very possible she could do it, too. If anyone can smash through the sex barrier in sports on a regular basis, it's this girl. What a drive!
So, has anybody else been following her young career?
