I DO know the following:
1) She has not won a single tournament as a professional, let alone a major, which other, less hyped and less financially rewarded players around her age HAVE won.
2) She is rapidly gaining a reputation as a shady player who will bend and manipulate the rules that most golfers tend to hold in such high esteem. It is also widely believed that she is torpedoing what was a promising career with her awful scheduling of events, her arrogance, and the pressure from those sponsors who want a few titles for their multi-million dollar investment. This reputation is held by a player, Annika Sorenstam, whose credentials are beyond reproach.
3) You have sunken to presuming you know what posters on this forum have or have not accomplished, and to attacking people for having the temerity to have an opinion at odds with your own. Those actions are as uncharacteristic as they are petty, and if you could get over your anger over your golden girl disgracing herself yet again, you would see that.

For the last time I will try to clarify. AGAIN.
She has numerous top tens in Majors. You want to exclude the top tens she had as an amateur? When she was not allowed to be a pro? You want to wipe the book when she couldnt be a pro? That the events didnt happen?
Point two ignores most of this year. She has been INJURED. Do you know that? She hasnt played in many events. She is injured.
What rules has she bent?
How has she disgraced herself? That is the exact language I have a problem with. Disgrace. Any person who says a 17 year old professional golfer has disgraced herself by being hurt or playing bad is probably not Mother Theresa. Dont follow the Golden Girl stuff. Again if you go back a year you will find several critical comments from me. Several
There is some nasty stuff in this thread. Some perspective is needed.
If people think she will never win or be anything on the LPGA tour I dont have a problem. I disagree but dont have a problem. Its the other nonsense
