My God, can’t these people just get over hype? They hyped this woman for years, and while talented she never put it all together, now after 7 years she gets one victory and they are hyping her all over again.
Poor gal, I wonder if it would have taken 7 years had they not hyped the hell out of this poor girl over that time. If no one knew her name, I wonder if she’d have had a W long before now.
I have nothing against this woman at all, but the hype the media created around her was rediculous, and here after one win they are doing it again. Let the woman play, once she’s proven herself THEN you can hype her all you want.
Good for Michelle. The media hyped her up so fast, and she kept buckling under the pressure of this made-up hype.
She finally wins, so hopefully these idiots will actually REPORT on her instead of hounding her and let her play.
I get so disgusted at these TV intellectuals and how they constantly prop up and tewar down athletes for their own ratings.

Good for her, good for the game...finally!
Now she can marry me!!
HA! This will show all those critics who complained when Wie won the Nobel Prize for Golf 7 years ago! See? We knew she had potential!
I beg to humbly differ with you, HJ. Michelle has been unfairly bashed by the left to the point of misogyny, similar to the events around Sarah Palin and Carrie Prejean. They just can't stand a good looking woman who is successful. I'm sincerely glad to see Michelle win and welcome the deserving accolades she has had since her first career win.
She was a real tiger yesterday and resolutely finished the tournament with exceptional play.
Finally!!! ...at the old age of 20.
Isn’t this the gal that finished 84th of 88 players in a men’s tourney? Where’s the greatness in that?
I assume you aren’t serious...
The old broad finally won one, eh?
I don’t know what Press you were watching, they have been uber hyping this gal for years... I never saw her attacked by anyone.. it was always “she’s the female Tiger”.. even though she hadn’t won anything...
They insane hype around her was rediculous, and I’m sad to see them starting all over with it.
Did you listen to the "expert" commentators during the Golf Channel broadcast? On the par-5 eighteenth, Michelle was in the bunker in two. The announcers were gabbing, gabbing, gabbing. "She's thirty yards from the pin, she should use a lob-wedge from the trap." "No a pitching wedge or she'll hit it thin." And on and on.
Sorry to say Dottie Pepper was in on this second-guessing (I for one am glad she's ending her assignment at TGC). Michelle just simply thumped a sand-wedge to a foot of the cup for a tap in birdie.
The announcers were just taken aback that Wie would hit such a career shot under that sort of pressure.
Then the bozo comes up to Michelle within ten seconds of dropping the putt to ask the most stupid questions in the history of broadcasting ("Did Christie Kerr give you assistance out on the course today?", which of course is largely illegal).
ridiculous, and don’t call me Shirley...
She reserves pink balls for Sundays, you know.
Here. You'll enjoy THIS LINK.
One win does not an era make...... this is just the way the media justifies all the wasted hype she has been receiving over the past couple years by saying "see, we told you she was great..."
