Michelle Wie: Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones…
February 28th, 2007 by dd
One of Michelle Wie’s main goals once she returns from her wrist injury is to win a Professional golf event.
Whether or not that is on the LPGA Tour or the PGA tour seems inconsequential to the 17-year old phenom, but she seems to feed off the negative criticism that is thrown her way from people who think they can tell her who she can or can’t play with.
Try as she may, Wie still hasn’t won an LPGA event and has not made a cut in any PGA Tour event that she has entered, but she wants to do something about that.
She just wants to play, and play well, and she doesn’t care what her critics say about her playing with the men.
Just ask her.
“I think it’s ridiculous for these people to say ‘you shouldn’t even try,’” Wie said in a recent interview. “It’s what life is. I mean, you fail when you compete and if you don’t try, then you don’t even know. Even if I fail, at least I know I tried. I’ll play every tournament the best I can with a great motivation and a great desire, and whatever happens, happens. I’m going to live the way I want to, and whatever people say, they say. I don’t really care.”
So call her a LOSER, a CHOKER, a SELL OUT… doesn’t matter. She’s still richer as a teenager than you’ll ever be in your whole life. Who’s laughing now, sucka! [AllHeadlineNews]
