OT: I've earned more this year than Wie

[RaiderZar]

What a complete failure. Never understood the hype. Can't even win in her home state of HI.

Maybe she and Ty Tryon should hook up...

At some point, you could've included Rickie Fowler in that ménage à trois...

She was a pretty 15 year old who could bomb it 300 yards.
That was impressive. Hope she can build the rest of a game around it.

She's in the wrong profession.

Stripper???

I think she will. I just don't think she's yet mature enough for tour play. She has the tools to be very good, but I simply don't think she has a plan when she golfs. She just hits the ball and hopes for the best.

I'm not sure she'll ever come close to the hype but I agree with this. She has already won two LPGA events and has at least one top 5 finish in each of the majors. Not a bad resume for a 23 year old. Still plenty of room for mental and emotional growth as well.

With the pressure heaped on her, the fact that she's not a stripper or in an alley with a needle in her arm is a pretty big accomplishment.

I'm sure she's crying on her bed made of millions

a bit of an old link. But she made more in one year as a teen than you probably might make in your life.
