Hawaii Golf NewsWie Keeps Streak Alive!By: Carmen Diode 09/15/2006 
Wie is a little perplexed by her inability to score well enough to make the cut for a men's golf event and to compete for a top finishing position. She has said that she feels that she is playing well and has the golf game to compete with the male touring professionals. In assessing her game Wie concedes that her putting needs a lot of work and improvement, as do her drives, fairway woods, short and long irons, and her short game.

The 84 Lumber Classic is not one of the men's tour glamour golf events (only an hour of the final round is televised and on the Comedy Network) and the field is one of the season's weakest since all of the truly good golfers are competing in England at the World Match Play Golf Championship. Last week Wie finished last against the men in the European Masters golf event. Wie offered a few reasons for her poor performance at the 84 Lumber Classic at a press conference that she participated in following the completion of her first round of play. Among the reasons cited as contributing factors for her sub par performance were jet lag, a growth spurt with her breasts, and bad spinach. At the same press conference Wie claimed that she routinely beats the world's best male professional golfers on her Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 Sony Playstation game. Despite her failures to make the cut at a men's tour event and amid growing criticism of her efforts to continue competing against men Wie is not backing off of her goal to find a permanent spot on the men's PGA Tour.
