Wie Responds, Goosen Criticizes
Well you knew it would happen sooner or later. Michelle Wie fired back at her critics and specifically against her coach David Leadbetter for saying she wouldn’t play in any more men’s tournaments.
“I don’t think my coach is the person who could talk about what events I’m going to play in. He got misquoted. I learn so much from playing with the men. I’m going to do it as long as I enjoy it.”
The war of words continued with Retief Goosen adding his own comments on the situation,
“The players in general feel it is not right. If she qualifies to play in an event then fine, but there are youngsters and good players coming up who could have taken that spot and broken through.”
“We all know with her playing in the men’s events that she is not going to get anywhere, so I’m not really sure what she is trying to achieve. If she thinks it is helping her development then fine, but so far I think it has been damaging to her game.”
Ouch, Michelle just got owned by the Goose man who is usually quiet and non-controversial. Obviously a lot of people feel strongly about this.
