Michelle Wie Continues to Bother People, Needs a Top-Two to Avoid Q-School

If Michelle Wie's 2008 New Years Resolution was to make sure and piss off everyone in America, by golly, she's doing a stand-up job.

After shunning the LPGA for another attempt at the PGA Tour, Wie is finally in a position where she might have to, you know, win a tournament to continue her stint with the ladies. That is, if she wants to avoid the grueling tribulations of Qualifying School.

In the field at the Canadian Women's Open, Wie will have to win, which she has never done, or finish second, which she hasn't done since 2006. With this being her last sponsor's exemption of the year, anything but a top two will be back to the drawing board for the 18-year-old. Luckily, she's going to make the decision herself.

"Everyone has their own opinion of what I should do, but I think that it's my life," Wie said. "I know there might be wrong decisions that I make and there might be right decisions that I make, but they're decisions that I make for myself.

"And I think the only decision I can make is to be 100 per cent supportive of myself and not doubt myself at all."

Honestly, landing her LPGA card the appropriate way, by heading to Q-School and grinding it out, is the only way she will ever earn the respect back from her peers. Golfers don't really like her approach and her planning, and now being ranked 309 in the world and never having won an event, it's time to take her talent through the true grind that most endure. It's only fair to everyone else. Naturally, Wie isn't really sure about all that nonsense.

"I haven't really decided anything yet," Wie said. "I think planning what's going to happen next year or this fall is going to happen after this week. Right now, all I'm thinking about is how am I going to play good this week. How am I maybe going to possibly win this?"

Asked if she would consider Q-school, Wie replied, "I'm not going to think about the future right now."

Well, that is actually a fairly solid approach to the week,. Dr. Bob Rotella, one of the better sports psychologist on the planet, always said that approaching the game of golf with expectations less than winning is a bad thing for your psyche. Wie's approach to just making the cut on the PGA Tour has probably got her internal goals a little skewed, and just going out to win again sure would be nice.

The question is, does she even know how?
