Wie Pushes Back: Jack Bent Pretty Low Too

It is funny to hear how many people were taken aback by Michelle Wie's putting stance over the last year or so, but now that it's working she's pushing back just a bit.

And while golf has had many great putters doing it all sorts of strange ways, Wie picked a pretty good example and with help from the editors at golf.com, has photographic evidence to back up her assertion (and show she has better posture).

From AP's Janie McCauley on the eve of the Swinging Skirts in San Francisco, a new LPGA event.

“I did it like about two years ago, year and a half ago now. … just something that I felt feel comfortable with,” Wie said. “I haven't had a plan to keep with it or not keep it. Just feels comfortable and I see the line better.”

Her putting style was not inspired by Jack Nicklaus, who in his prime bent over his putts to see the line, Wie said.

“I practice at the Bear's Club and there are pictures of Jack everywhere.,” Wie said. “I saw a picture of him like putting and I was like, Oh, he is actually pretty low as well. I don't feel that bad anymore.”

World's Most Interesting Golfer Ryder Cup Worthy?

With his Masters performance and now a win in his Champions Tour debut, should Miguel Angel Jimenez be consideration of Captain Paul McGinley?

Jimenez wants on the team and Derek Lawrenson says the idea doesn't seem as nutty as it did last summer after a win in Hong Kong Open when Jimenez made his ambitions clear.

And now? If the match was taking place tomorrow, you'd want him in the team.

Never mind that he doesn't hit the ball very far and his Ryder Cup record isn't great.

Think about what he does bring to the party, what he'd be like in the team room, the  crowd reaction when he walks to the first tee, and the fact  that in the only home Ryder Cup he has played in, at Celtic Manor in 2010, he won two matches  out of three.

And so, this summer, the world's most interesting golfer - to quote the headline accompanying an American magazine feature - will become the most intriguing sub-plot. Will he achieve his once-impossible dream? One thing's for sure: every overweight, 50-something club golfer from here to California will be cheering him on.
