Judge and Dave,

While many of the Wiebots have come down to Earth, and are merely optimistic concerning Bubbles' chances, Wie-wee Ray Jeske is not one of them.

No, Ray perceives Bubbles' monumental T7th finish in a tournament of no-names and nobodies as an achievement for the ages, one which assures her entry into the Hall of Fame in ten years, the minimum number needed to enter the Hall of Fame.

Future Wiebot posters will have difficulty topping that bit of fantasy.

Indeed. She has ALREADY wasted a lot of her talent.

Perhaps, Dave, perhaps. It wouldn't surprise me. My only point is that even if she does end up like Love, she will have fallen far short of the grand expectations people had for her a few years ago. She also will have failed to live up to her physical potential by a wide margin.

Davis Love?! No, he's won 20 PGA Tour events, including a major. Underachiever or not, Love has had a good career. Anna Kournikova comes to mind as a much better comparison.

It's amazing how the Wiebots have come down to Earth. At one time the Bubbles was a lock to be an authentic competitor on the PGA Tour, and now she is congratulated for a seventh-place finish at LPGA Tour School. Well, the truth will out.

I've told you this before, but Bubbles will never live up to her potential, which, admittedly, is impressive. Her problem is between the ears, and there's a very good chance she'll end up being the Davis Love of the women's tour.

tacitus.... don't you think it is a bit early to try and compare MW to Annika Sorenstam??? Why don't you let MW play a few years and then use those results for your projections...

My bad; 14 is her correct age -- her birthday isn't until October. Her being 14 makes what she did at the Sony even more remarkable.
