Michelle Wie only wishes she could be John Daly in Las Vegas for a non-headline tournament like the Frys.com Open.

Not the Daly in his prime with major hardware on his shelf. Don't be ridiculous. No, right now Wie would settle for being women's golf's version of the washed up Daly.

This Daly did pretty much the best that he can do these days in his extended Sin City weekend. He played very inconsistent golf against a field that wasn't scaring anyone. Daly went 74-63-77-67 to finish in a tie for 44th.

And everyone in Vegas just seems delighted (and maybe a little shocked) that Daly showed up on time for his tee time four straight days in his favorite city on earth, outside of perhaps Biloxi (though Vegas' Hooters hotel could be shifting the balance for Big John).

Meanwhile, Wie talked about how she shouldn't have played all year, then still played in the Samsung, stealing a spot from a much more deserving player and then avoided finishing dead last by one shot with a Sunday 71 that will surely be compared to Johnny Miller's 63 at Oakmont by the Wie Warriors.

Advantage: Fat, old washed up Big John.

At least Daly had huge talent to waste.
