That's why she's already banked $20 Million or so. Yeah, and I bet they're just thrilled about the return on that investment.

The thing is, noone's talking about her in a positive way - media wags included - they're just waiting for her to make a fool out of herself - AGAIN. But if you believe the old adage - any publicity is good publicity - then.... >WHO RULES ??? Hey, if she wants to be famous for pissing away an opportunity for a great career, who are we to judge.

Hmmm. Someone gets it. bk

Except that she may make this cut.

Along with a bunch of guys noone's heard of. But, hey, good for her, if that's all she wants. First woman to make a cut in a men's tournament - she'll be the answer to a trivia question someday. It ain't gonna get her any closer to the Hall of Fame, tho - LPGA or any other. At some point you gotta WIN something. I'm not a hater at all. Just think she's getting a load of bad advice. Seems the best thing she could do is cut the cord with her parents - professionally, that is. If not, she'll probably end up with a bunch of C-list celebs on a reality show someday - Hey, wasn't she that golfer!?!?

It says something about our culture when someone who has never even won a tournament, or demonstrated any really outstanding talent, can out-earn so many who have. Sick, really. William Clark |
