Michelle Wie West taking on men’s tournament 🏌🏻♀️
You know, the hardest part about growing up in Hawaii and trying to be good at golf is just the lack of tournaments. People always were like, “Oh, why’d you play in a PGA tour event?” Well, it was because we didn’t have really the funds to go to the mainland and, you know, travel on the AGA and play in all these tournaments. So, when I won the biggest women’s tournament, not um junior tournament, but women’s tournament, I won by 13 strokes when I was 12. I was like, “Okay, so now what?” So, then I started playing in men’s events, and that’s kind of how I started playing into men’s events. And then all of a sudden the Sony open I saw this you know opportunity and like oh it’s 10 minutes from our house. I’m like okay great let’s try that. So when the whole like Sony thing happened when I played in a PJ tour event you know people made a really big deal out of it. But for me I was like oh this is another tournament 10 minutes from my house that I don’t have to fly to the mainland for. So yeah that was kind of the thought process. I guess you were 13. Yeah.
