Thompson leads 84 Lumber Classic after a 64; Wie finishes with 77 after Round One
Nicholas Thompson leads the 84 Lumber Classic, after shooting a first round 64. Thompson, ranked 181 on the PGA money list, has a two shot lead over a group of six players that finished at 66 …
Michelle Wie finished her round with a 5-over 77 after struggling with her putter. Wie had this to say after being asked if she felt frustrated with the 34 putts she had in her round:
“Well, I was frustrated with my putting not because I was hitting them bad or because I was pulling them or pushing them. It was frustrating today because I was hitting every putt on line, and about six, seven putts looked like they were going to go in the middle of the hole, and sometimes they hit a spike mark, sometimes they hit a footprint. That was a little bit frustrating. But not because I was mis hitting my putts,” said Wie.

Someone please teach this soon to be 17 year old girl some interview techniques so that just about everything she says doesn't keep sounding like an excuse.
A true mark of a champion is NOT how they perform when everything goes right, it's how they are able to adjust and raise their game WHEN THINGS GO WRONG.
I'm afraid the things she says sounds like excuses because they are excuses.
Michelle is not a champion.
I wonder if the players who had to suffer through her walking all over their lines in the 2003 Women's US Open publically blamed their poor putting performances over footprints or spikemarks....
Nobody did. But thankfully Danielle Ammaccapane put her foot up Michelle's ass in the scorers tent for routinely committing one of the BIGGEST breaches of golf etiquette one can possibly commit on their playing partners.
Of course, nobody walked in her line at this tournament, so, is she blaming the groups in front of her? The softness of the greens? Yeah, let's now start blaming the course superintendant. Then maybe the course architect, and the sponsor, then the state of PA, and finally the planet for the weather conditions.....WHEN DOES IT END?!?!?!?!?!?!
All of her money should be able to get her some media training by a credible PR firm, shouldn't it?
