Michelle Wie is making golf history, remember there is no how to book on this.
When Michelle Wie wins on the PGA Tour it is not only going to change golf forever but could very well be a catalyst in changing western civilization as we know it.
She is often compared to Babe Zacharias, but in reality she is more likely similar to Glenna Collet-Vare. Bobby Jones, the greatest of them all, once commented that Glenna Collet-Vare had the best golf swing he had ever seen. I think he would have loved Michelle Wie's.
June 5,2006 had lunch at the golf club today and brought up Michelle Wie being 1 under after 15, WOW, not one supporter (all men present) remarks ranged from she has no right being there she hasn't won anything except that public links thing ( that showed full depth of understanding of the US Open golf championship qualifying process) so she should play golf with ladies and beat them before she tries to compete at golf with the men. Oh yeah, this is going to be fun.

When I asked to to try and compare it to anyone else he had seen his reply was instant. "Jack Nicklaus about 20 years ago when he played in the Canadian Open." Hmmm, interesting indeed.
