A good case of bad timing

Michelle Wie won her 2nd LPGA tournament, the Canadian Open, by 3 shots, two of which could be rightly attributed to her Day One hole-in-one. Now, in the autumn, game coming 'round, the LPGA's greatest hope for respectability, press coverage, and increased sponsorships is going back to college.

I don't know how many LPGA tournaments are left this year, but it would be real good for the LPGA if Michelle came hard-charging out of the gate next spring and started knocking down championships. When/if she combines her star potential and natural good looks with a few trophies, she'll get more attention from the sports press and the all-important male sector of the sporting world.
