Wie Starting Over

Hello. It's hard to believe Michelle Wie is coming into the US Women's Open as an afterthought.
She had to qualify to get in. That was something she hadn't done in 5 years.
Up until two years ago Wie had been great in majors. She had the lead on Sunday multiple times.
Now she's just one of many young players in the field. At 18, a lot of the curiosity has worn off. She's been thought of as a has-been by many. She's not even the youngest in her group!
Wie is so far down the rankings, that if she was anyone else I wouldn't be talking about her now. Many have stopped. And I will too unless she does something on the course.
It's easy to look back now and say she was rushed into things. Maybe she should've spurned the "cash now" offers. On the other hand, you could also go back and say that maybe she should've become a pro even earlier, like when she was near the top of the leaderboard.
Will Michelle Wie be someone we talk about this week in the present tense, or the past tense? Time will tell.

Regards,
Steve
