"Wie: I can still win men’s event"
I noticed that headline at Golfweek.com on a Tom Canavan story, but I can't find where Michelle Wie actually talked about winning a men's event.
From her Sybase Classic transcript where she answers questions about playing in men's events.
Q. I believe you've talked in the past about someday competing in the Masters. Is that still part of your vision for the future, and if so, do you see a realistic scenario of attaining that goal?
MICHELLE WIE: Yeah, for sure that's definitely one of my goals that I started out with, and I still have it.
Q. Is playing in men's tournaments also a part of your goals at this point, and how realistic do you think that is?
MICHELLE WIE: You know, I think that's definitely a part of my goals. You know, like I always say, dream high and stuff, set your goals up high, and I think it's definitely -- I'm not saying it's an easy goal to achieve. I'm not going to be like, oh, I'm going to go out and win a men's event, it's not like that, but it's one of those long-term goals where I see myself getting to. I see myself getting there, and it's one of those goals that really motivates me and pushes me to be a stronger player, a better player.

I agree, which is why I pointed out this story and the transcript. It seems to me to be misleading. Did I not make that clear enough?
It would have helped if maybe you italicized a word like "playing"... oh wait, you did...
When I said "Give her a break", I didn't mean you. I meant "the media" in general. Sorry for not making the distinction clear.
I was/am not one of her fans, but she's trying and it appears the effort is sincere.
And Stanley Thompson, she said a goal and that's all she said.
Other people may disagree with my personal goal in this regard, but it is my own goal and my own personal dream. I'm not saying she'll be able to do it, but it is one of those long term goals I defnitely see her getting to. I hope it motivates her to be more articulate, since she's, like, a multimillionaire "spokesperson" for several multinational corporations.
Damn, I just, like, did it myself. I'm all like, "she shouldn't talk that way," and then in the last sentence, I'm like, saying "like."
This is such a hard world. Where's my dad?
