When most people reckon of golf, they reckon of Tiger Woods. But here’s an up-and-coming player on the course. And many predict this young Korean-American may soon be one of the world.s leading players. At 15, Michelle Wie is the most talked about name in the game.

She inherited an appeal in golf from her parents, Korean immigrants, B.J. and Bo. Michelle started playing with them at age 4. By the time she twisted 8, she could beat both of them. Realizing their daughter showed promise, B.J. started coaching her.

At 10, Michelle had won practically all the children.s tournaments in her home state of Hawaii. So she chose it was time to go on to greater challenges. In 2000, she became the youngest player ever to compete in a USGA amateur championship.

The following year, Michelle competed in the Jennie K. Wilson Invitational, Hawaii.s most respected women.s amateur tournament. She became the event.s youngest winner ever, beating the 39-year-ancient former champion. Since then, Michelle has been breaking records and making a name for herself as she competes against adults.

An average teenager?

In many ways, Michelle is an average 15-year-ancient. She likes rock music and Johnny Depp. Her leisure activities contain reading and drawing. She.s a straight-A student, with a like for math. And like many teenagers, she has covered her bedroom walls with posters. The posters are of her idol: Tiger Woods.

But upon seeing Michelle, some differences are obvious. For one thing, she.s already 6 feet tall and wears a men.s size 10 shoe. Her weekly normal also reveals a striking alteration. Michelle practices golf four hours a day, Monday owing to Friday.

On the weekends, when she.s not competing in tournaments, she plays seven hours a day. Michelle admits she is extremely competitive.

“I like challenges, and I have to be the first to do all, and I just want to be the best,” says Michelle. Right to form, she became the youngest person ever to play in a PGA Tour event last year. At the same time, she became only the fourth female ever to compete in the historically all-male tour. And at only 14, she still beat 47 adult men!

The girl to watch

Michelle.s strength, competitiveness and dedication to the game are paying off. Some say she has a perfect swing. And she already hits the ball about as far as the average golfer on the men.s tour. Those are very outstanding skills for a 15-year-ancient girl!

Golf.s legendary players are just some of the people watching her with awe and bewilderment. According to golf fantastic Davis Like III, “She probably has one of the best golf swings I.ve ever seen. No telling what she.s going to do when she gets a small older.”

At this stage, some people are pushing Michelle to turn pro. “eople question me . . . if I.m going to turn pro before I.m 18,” Michelle says. “I don.t reckon so. I.m having fun playing as an amateur.” No one knows for sure what lies ahead for Michelle. But one thing.s certain: Everybody.s watching.

Competing as the only amateur in a LPGA Tour event in February, she tied 27-year-ancient Cristie Kerr for following place. Afterward, Kerr said, “She.s already a veteran at 15. I just hope the [LPGA] tour is ready for her.”
