 Lorena Ochoa is the most dominant player on the women’s circuit, but Michelle Wie still has the star power. The 19-year-old native of Hawaii has already come close to winning each of the four majors and has played in 48 LPGA events entering her “rookie” season. The 6-foot-1 Wie can hit it as far as any woman in the professional ranks. That, coupled with her ascent to the mainstream that accelerated when she won the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links as a 13-year-old, has made her arguably the most recognizable female golfer in the world. Wie, who also is a student at Stanford, hasn’t won an event — amateur or professional — since the Publinx, and her professional career has been marred by controversial starts at men’s events and curious disqualifications at women’s events. Wie, who has said she plans on playing “a lot” of tournaments this season, finished runner-up in her 2009 debut in front of many local supporters at the SBS Open at Turtle Bay in Hawaii. She held the lead on the back nine, but struggled down the stretch and lost to Angela Stanford. “It’s just the beginning. I think there’s a lot more good stuff to come out of it,” Wie said. “Just missing the trophy by a little bit is going to motivate me to work even harder for the next one.” She’s come close before, so the jury is still out until she gets her first victory. But no matter how she performs, it’s safe to assume everything she does will be under the microscope. (PHOTO: Getty Images) READ ABOUT LORENA OCHOA |
