Wie Wie makes Mens Cut

[sharkhark]

Saw this on TGN. Apparently she made the cut.
I personally applaud her efforts to keep working her way down the food chain in an effort to find a mens event she could make the cut at.
If this had failed she would have been at the OG opening for her next try.
Cheers Wiesy! I play to win and you play to...?..? actually I'm not sure?
Geez, not the first though?

Oh good grief, don't give Donny any more ammunition! LOL OK Donny, deep breaths, blood pressure medication, valium......

[fundonny]

Just curious at what level this tournament is... It's not the PGA, EPGA, Nationwide, CPGA, Hooters....

KJ choi is in the tourney

[EDSGOLF]

I wish I was good like her and could make cuts in any professional men's event. Anybody else?

It's an event on the Asian Tour.

She's made the cut, and is 6 off the lead. She will make offical money with this event.

I think the point here is that Wie has made a cut on in an event that is on a higher level than the event in which Se Ri Pak made a cut. No? Off I go to find a link on the heirarchies of the Asian / Austrailasian Tour(s)...

pak made the cut? when?

[Colby]

pak made the cut? when?

In 2003. I know you just finished school for the year, but you still need to read

[Golfpeasant]

Well I'm sure she will keep that cut, unless of course some low-minded, cheap, lameass hater sports reporter waits for 3 days to report an infraction...if he doesn't, any of you haters got time to scrutinize the tapes and drop a quarter?

[fundonny]

You think what that SI guy did was wrong? What about people who watch on TV and call in infractions?

cOLBY, My brain is soooo fried right now. 15 straight days of little sleep, studying 15 hours a day, barely eating... when I got off the bus yesterday I grabbed some poor girls bag instead of mine and when I got home and opened the bag to give my friend a box of srixxons... all these tampons and pads fell out. He just gave me a wierd look... as if to say.. what the hell are you doing with all that stuff. Had to go back, drop that bag off and pick up the right one. I'm so stupid right now, I think it will wear off in 48 hours

ROFLMAO&PMP!!!!!!!!!! I am sure 'someone' is on their way to the station as we speak to start reviewing video!

GOOOOOOD one Golfpeasant!!!

Infractions should only be called by those inside the ropes. Golf is the only sport that someone can sit on their ass at home and call in an rules violation. Also, once the card is signed and entered by the officials it should be inviolate.

Not just for Wie's case, but any of the armchair calls that were made (was it Stadler that kneeled on a towel and got nailed for "building a stance?)

[fundonny]

How many strokes did she clear the cut by?

[KickerOfElves]

Five. The cut was even par.

[fundonny]

Interesting and... good for her.

You just know this is knawing on me...

I thought you would be at the station reviewing video of her play?

[fundonny]

Nahhhhh... Said the whole time she has to earn it, and she's at step 1 now. I still don't see her making the big boy tour on her own merits.

Oh commom Donny, don't go getting rational on us!

[fundonny]

Indio, you want a big cursing outburst??? LOL!!

well, it would make life a bot more interesting in here! Then we could talk about how DOnny got suspended from the OG forum for a while

WOW how did this not turn into a giant war

The second I saw it I reached for the stamp :banned1 expecting the worst!

I know, Donny let us down this time... He usually goes balestic but I guess his wife must have reined him in a bit

[fundonny]

Whoa, I didn't take either side on the si guy. I personally thought it was ridiculous that people can call in an infraction.

First off, I just went back to check my post and was suprised to see 24 replies already.
Second, I just read your post and am embarassed that I laughed so hard I almost fell off my desk chair. You should go on the just for laughs tour thotho

[fundonny]

Boys boys boys... She made the cut, if that makes her happy then fine. She'll never win a mens event (unless it's an OG event or something at that level).

The SI reporter, well that was ridiculous. But he did what he thought was ethically right. And a rule was broken. The fact that the PGA has people answering these calls baffles me.
