Despite coach's advice: Michelle Wie continues to play with men
Michelle Wie's coach said a few weeks ago that she wouldn't play against men anymore, reasoning that she'd be better suited working on her game on the women's tour.
Now a sponsor has offered her cash to play against men, and she's jumping at it. The 17-year-old Wie will play in the John Deere Classic in July, making her eighth attempt to make the cut against men. So far, she's 0-for-7.
Wie's coach, David Leadbetter, said earlier this month that he had worked on convincing her parents that she's not ready to play men. "The thing I've tried to explain to them is that you have to work your way up the ladder," he said. Apparently that message didn't get through.

Her parents are turning her into a sideshow freak. She isn't going to make the cut -- and even if she did, isn't the point of entering a tournament that you want to win it? Of course, Michelle will probably get a bigger check when she appears on Dancing with the Stars than she would have otherwise...
