Wie advised to keep away from men’s events

Annika Sorenstam, who is playing in her last major this week before she steps away from the game, is against young golf sensation Micehelle Wie playing in the men’s golfing events. Renowned golf guru David Leadbetter also believes Michelle Wie’s determination to make the cut at the Reno Tahoe Open could hamper her technical game. "It’s a shock to me and to her agents that this is happening," said Leadbetter, who has worked with the teenager for five years. "I don’t think the family has made the right choice. There’s definitely more to lose than to gain." Leadbetter is convinced of the wrong route, saying ‘I’m one of Michelle’s greatest fans but what we’re seeing now smacks of what happened last year. Then, she tried to come back far too soon and did none of the necessary rehab work. Now, just when there’s this little light at the end of the tunnel, they have her back playing against the men. I can see, now, what’s going to happen this week."
