She has her critics and she has her fans and now Michelle Wie has her first LPGA win.
Bring her name up on certain forums and it's sure to polarize the crowd. Honestly, I've seen more bashing of this young player than anything else. Sure, there have been interesting choices made in her career but I just don't get why there is such animosity toward her. I mean really, she's just a young woman that plays golf. How is that so threatening? I can only imagine how she feels about everything that is said about her. Hopefully she just lets it roll off her.
This year is shaping up great for her though. First the Solheim Cup and now her win over the weekend! Congratulations Michelle! Here's to many more!
How do you feel about Michelle Wie?

Personally, I'd love to see Michelle have success on both tours. I'm a huge fan, simply because she has endured so much animosity. I think she's proven she's as mentally tough as any player (male or female) who's ever played the game; there are great players who have been crushed by less adversity than she's faced. I respect her a lot!
No top caliber golfer is without ego. I imagine she and her parents felt she could compete on the men's tour. Big mistake. A rules controversy, a mysterious W/D and some nagging injuries and she is persona non grata with the world.
I think she knows she has all the competition she can handle right where she is and will not venture to the 'dark side' again. I think the girls are warming up to her also. It has to be tough for them because Michelle makes so much money and just won her first tourney. Not her fault.
