A BBC article reporting that Michelle Wie will never regain full fitness because of the wrist problems that have caused her to pull out of recent tournaments has fuelled debates whether the 19-year-old is set for a very early retirement.
The American has enjoyed a very successful start to her career, and has even competed in men's events. 2007 was a complete wipe out as she suffered recurrences of a problematic wrist injury.
A BBC forum shows how some people have reacted to the news that Wie might never be the same again. There are some great posts, and it goes to show how useful utilising the digital newsroom can really be.
One comment reads: "Over hyped, over marketed, overconfident, overpaid...........but mainly over par."
Most of the posts reflect how Wie's parents have pushed her too hard, and so she has been ill advised and exploited.
Whatever you believe, it is a sad story. After all, she is just nineteen, yet the spotlight seems like it has been on her for a lot longer.
A blog post on Worldgolf.com is titled "Top 7 Reasons Why Michelle Wie Will Never Be Number One." It is a very interesting read, and raises many good points.
