Thompson leads 84 Lumber Classic after a 64; Wie finishes with 77 after Round One

"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.

"...and sometimes they hit a spike mark, sometimes they hit a footprint..."

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.

MY GOD...HER PUTTS HIT SPIKE MARKS AND FOOTPRINTS!! I SUGGEST THEY LET HER TEE OFF FIRST SO SHE WILL HAVE PRISTINE GREENS TO PUTT ON, THEN SHE CAN SAY THE GREENS WERE TOO SMOOTH WHICH CAUSED MY PUTTS NOT TO GO IN. ALSO, I LIKE HER HUMBLE REMARK..."MY IRON SHOTS WERE FANTASTIC." GOOD GRIEF, I HAVE NEVER HEARD TIGER MAKE SUCH A COMMENT. SHE HAS TOTALLY LOST IT AND FIRMLY BELIEVES THAT SHE REALLY IS A "GOLF PHENOM."

Dot Wong.... why post a blog if you're only gonna leave it up for 8 hours... this one had a top shelf life from 8:40pm to roughly 4am.... didnt like the content????

Funny that Michelle would say such things.....I think it's karma.....

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?
