It's about freakin' time that 20-year-old Michelle Wie won a real golf tournament, a two-stroke win in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational. Now maybe she'll give up this silly dream and finally enroll in dental school. [Honolulu Advertiser] More »

The Evian Masters offered car service and breakfast and a private golf critique on the Hudson with Natalie Gulbis, and when someone offers a town car, an omelet bar and golf lessons with a star, it's generally polite to accept. More »

The next time I'm hacking away on my local muni, I'm going to pretend like I'm snowboarding, because that's what Italian golfer Giulia Sergas does. Imaginary frostbite nipping at my windwhipped nose, I'll fit right in with the LPGA. More »

Tiger Woods' niece, Cheyenne Woods, missed the cut by three strokes in her first LPGA tournament this weekend. Just 18-years-old, she qualified for the tournament on a sponsor's exemption. Wonder why. Now tweet about it, please. [AP] More »

Those damn birdies. When will they learn to stay away from sporting events? This just in: Ahn Shi-hyun, a golfer at the LPGA Championship, smacked a drive into a robin, which immediately burst into "a puff of feathers." [The Guardian] More »

This is Natalie Gulbis. She's on Twitter. And if you're jonesing for some, um, behind-the-scenes updates from the LPGA Tour, then she's worth a follow, because the LPGA believes the sport will become more appealing if its players start tweeting from the course. Yep, that'll do it. [Bloomberg, Pop Vox] More »

Cradle-robbing never looked so...comely? Mexico's own Lorena Ochoa, the No. 1 ranked female golfer, has announced plans to get married. Now I know what you're thinking. LPGA star...she's gonna marry a white girl, just like Tiger, right? Actually, it's one of her sponsors. More »

As if public displeasure were not strong enough against the LPGA's proposed English-only policy, now lawyers have arrived on the scene to pronounce the policy potentially illegal. Really? Potentially illegal. Every lawyer loves this legal analysis. Everything is potentially illegal. The answer to every legal question is, "That depends." Except for what's the age of consent in Nebraska? Which of course is, can she operate a corn thresher? More »

A couple of years ago in Philadelphia, a national controversy erupted when Geno's steak owner Joey Vento posted a sign on the front of his order window that said "This Is America: When Ordering Speak English." Joey became somewhat of a hero to many and a despised xenophobe to some civil liberties groups. The sign still hangs in the window today ( the saying is also menacingly tattooed on his forearm) and it is still a sticking point for many in the South Philly neighborhood and around the country who consider Vento just a mean-spirited, opportunistic bigot. Many of those sensitive-types who objected to Vento's sign will probably have similar issues with the LPGA, who have just passed a mandatory English-proficiency rule for its members. Golfweek's Beth Ann Baldry broke the story: More »

As long as Michelle Wie continues to derail her own career by playing on the men's tour instead of first being competitive in a women's major tournament, she'll be considered a joke by some of her LPGA peers. Golfers Annika Sorenstam, Helen Alfreddson, and Paula Creamer didn't mince words about Wie's decision to skip the Women's British Open this week in favor of playing in the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open.

Now this is the way to quit. Simple announcement, no ambiguity, definite schedule for withdrawal. Annika Sorenstam, who announced on Tuesday that she's leaving the LPGA Tour at the end of the season, is employing an exit strategy the Bush Administration is envying. Oh, and you can also bet that she's going to stay retired. More »

Well, women's professional golf has just advanced on my list of favorite sports from No. 109 to No. 63 ... just ahead of cheese rolling, but still behind rugby and Calvinball. The dramatic upsurge in the standings is due to Anna Rawson, who earned her LPGA tour card this week. We are absolutely certain that she totally deserved it and was not rewarded ahead of more deserving amateurs. Nope. From her MySpace page: More »

For a while today, it looked like Michelle Wie would earn her first major victory on the LPGA Tour. But Karrie Webb and Lorena Ochoa both eagled the 18th to head into a playoff at -9, while Wie's birdie putt just singed the cupp, leaving her at -8, tied for 3rd with Ben Roethlisberger's ex-girlfriend, Natalie Gulbis. Webb eventually won, beating Ochoa on the first playoff hole. More »
