Mark Nessmith: Wie hype getting old, Gary Van Sickle reports (finally)

Stunning news from Gary Van Sickle in his recent column at cnnsi.com:

"It doesn't matter that Michelle Wie is only 16 and still in high school. The hype about her has gone on so long without her winning anything that it's becoming tiresome," he writes. "That opening 79 at Sony hurt her image more than the seven-birdie 68 in the second round helped. She's going to be an amazing pro at 22 but only if the media, the expectations and the big money don't ruin her in the next six years. Paula Creamer and Morgan Pressel seem much better positioned to succeed in women's golf."

Man, this Van Sickle may be on to something!

No, wait ..... where in the heck have I read this sentiment about Wie before!?
