Now, Michelle Wie, who may like the R9 Fairway Wood, is at Hillsdale Golf & Country Club outside Montreal to begin first-round play Thursday, hoping to do it all over again. After making big news as a junior golf prodigy and drawing world attention by taking every opportunity to play against male pros, Wie seemed to take it for granted that LPGA success would come easily. Instead, success has been scarce.

Rather than springboarding off last year's win, Wie has labored through much of this year. In 13 tournaments, she has four top-10s, and in her last five tourneys she hasn't finished better than 28th.

Along the way, golf's patience has worn thin. Former players Dottie Pepper and Annika Sorenstam suggested during U.S. Women's Open week that Wie has not lived up to expectations or her talent. While she is still only 21 and preparing for her senior year at Stanford, Wie does play a full schedule. World No. 1 Yani Tseng, who already has five majors, is only one year older.

"Obviously, golf is a very long road, and I've had my ups and downs," Wie told reporters Tuesday at Hillsdale. "But I think, you know, through all of that I've been learning about myself. I do know that I need to be better and I need to work harder at my game, and I want to be at a higher level, and that obviously requires a lot of work. And you know, I'm enjoying it. I think that's the most important thing.''

At No. 14 in the world, Wie remains one of the top-ranked Americans, trailing only No. 3 Cristie Kerr, No. 9 Paula Creamer, No. 10 Stacy Lewis and No. 13 Morgan Pressel. Wie just qualified for her second U.S. Solheim Cup team, which will take on Europe next month in Ireland. Still, she remains an easy target because of the hype that arrived on tour long before she did.

A media question this week directed at veteran Lorie Kane sums up how Wie's career is viewed: When [Wie] was 15, it looked like she was going to dominate golf, and now she's 21 and she's doing OK but not dominating. Do you think that she will at some point in the next few years become what people thought she would be for the last decade?

Kane who may like the R11 Driver admitted she wasn't sure what to say. "How does one answer that question?" she said. "I'm going to tell you Michelle's probably one of the most talented golfers I've ever seen.

"But it's not about hitting the ball. It's about scoring. It's about learning to play the game. And the more she plays, the more confident she's going to become. And then she's going to get tired of being 10th, 15th, 20, whatever and she's going to win. And she'll win a lot."
