Michelle Wie made the stunning announcement this week that she plans to play in an LPGA Tour event at the beginning of the 2007 season, The Onion joked yesterday.

George McNeill is 3rd at Q-School after four rounds. I have watched George play a few times and thought he could play. The first time was in a professional tournament held every January in Fort Myers Florida where I picked his group up on the sixth hole. He proceeded to birdie 6,7,8,9,11,12, and 13. I said "wow", he hit it a mile and did everything else well too. However, when he played on the Nationwide a couple of years ago it was ugly. He then got a club job in Ft. Myers but hated it, and I think this was the key that inspired him to get serious about playing golf. He blew the field away in 1st stage, was leading 2nd stage after 3 rounds and finished 3rd. But these were in Florida so I gave him no chance in California. These rags to ( potential ) riches stories are what make pro golf the best.
