As you probably know by now, the 2010 U.S. Women's Open is just days away from getting underway at Oakmont, and the players are already in town, busy with practice rounds and such.
It takes a lot for a women's golf post to be presented for the approval of the discriminating MH audience; but I thought this exchange with the heavily-hyped Michelle Wie at Oakmont would serve as a nice intro for the upcoming tournament that will be held in our backyard (emphasis is mine):
MODERATOR: I was thinking about it, and when Michelle won the LPGA tournament that she won earlier in the year, I was thinking I believe you were the only college student to ever win a tournament in the LPGA Tour. That's another little feather in your cap. Just tell us a little bit. You won a tournament now. You're still in college. Are you a Phi Beta Kappa yet?
MICHELLE WIE: No sorority for me yet, but it's been fun. It's been a lot of fun. You know, it's great, but I want to do better this year, and I just want to keep doing better and better. College is fun; it's a lot of hard work. It all pays off in the end.
Apparently, the worldly Wie doesn't realize that Phi Beta Kappa is actually a widely-known academic honor society, so I'm guessing she probably won't become a card-carrying member anytime soon.
Then again, she wouldn't be the first Stanford student to be so fixated on golf that they eventually lose touch with the rest of the world.
