Not since man first came up with the idea to hit a ball with a stick until it's in a hole has the golf world had a bigger, more important day than yesterday. Yes, on one epic Sunday, both Tiger Woods and Michelle Wie won professional golf tournaments.

Wild-haired conspiracy theorists had long foretold of the day this cosmic event would occur, but they were roundly ignored and pelted with trash. Thus, sent to the corners of the Internet like the many that believe 2012 will bring with it an apocalypse or two.

But now - Vindication! After winning the LPGA's Ochoa Invitational in Mexico, Wie is being given the type of accolades sportswriters normally reserve for cyclists who they are 90 percent certain are steroid-free. Take this hyperbolic rhetoric from national golf writer Brandon Tucker:

"Wie showed at the Solheim Cup that she's easily the most talented European or American golfer and it was only a matter of time before she shed the mighty winner's goose egg. That happened this weekend in Mexico."

Then, add in Tiger Woods' win at the Australian Masters, and you have yourself the type of hyperbole normally saved for a Sarah Palin - Levi Johnston UFC cage match:

"Mark down this date - Sunday, November 15, 2009. On this one Sunday the game of golf which has been pretty much gasping for air the past few years finally got the revitalizing treatment it needed. It got the shot in the arm to cure all ailments."

Personally, I say golf writers should enjoy this moment. They all waited a long time for a Tiger-Wie double, and they should wallow in it for a few weeks. Lord knows when it will happen again, after all.
