Now some words from Michelle:

Wie looks ahead to match-play tourney: “I know there are people out there critiquing me, saying I haven’t won or blah, blah, blah, but I don’t really care about that kind of stuff,” she said. “I mean, I’m not here to make it easy for myself. I’m not here to put myself higher than I am. I’m just here to play as well as I can, and if I’m going to win, then I’m going to win.” The long-hitting teenager hopes to take advantage of Hamilton Farm’s many wide, forgiving fairways that favor her powerful game. “It’s a lot of driver-wedge, driver-wedge, so if I can tune in on my wedges, I’ll do well,” said Wie, set to play next week in the PGA Tour’s John Deere Classic. “This week is going to be fun. My first time playing match play against LPGA Tour players. I think it’ll be very interesting.”
