"Michelle Wie is 15 years old. Michelle Wie is 15 years old.
Excuse me if I keep repeating it, but to me this fact is almost incomprehensible.
It's so unreal that the young Hawaiian's gender -- Michelle Wie is a girl -- takes a seat so far back in the minivan that it's almost behind the rear bumper."
What's incomprehensible is that it's so obvious why there's no buzz about Wie's playing on the men's tour, yet no one will say it: she's playing as an amateur, and won't take any prize money. When Annika went out, there was a risk of her doubling her annual earnings!
To a male golf pro, anyone who won't take home the money is neuter.
