Someone Thinks Wie Will Win Soon...

Got to love the LPGA, they still have confidence in Michelle Wie. Announcing eligibility changes for the season ending ADT Championship that the PGA Tour ought to emulate, note this little change...

For the first-time ever, a non-LPGA Tour member has the opportunity to compete in the ADT Championship. If a non-LPGA Tour member wins one of the four majors, she is eligible to compete in the season-ending ADT Championship and is not required to become a member to do so. Furthermore, if she needs a note to get out of her classes at Stanford, the LPGA Commissioner will personally write and sign it.

Oh there I go again adding on sentences to perfectly good press releases. Sorry.
