No "We" in Wie: Parents told to back off during Solheim Cup

Posted at 2:19 PM by Jim Gorant | Categories: Solheim

The most interesting subplot during the Solheim Cup at Rich Harvest Farms near Chicago no doubt will involve the most celebrated player in the event, Michelle Wie. The second-youngest participant in cup history (19 years, 10 months), Wie will spend a rare week away from her parents. The ever-present B.J. and Bo Wie have been politely told that they will not be allowed in the locker room or team-lodging area, or at team meals. It'll be interesting to see how this affects Michelle, but the Wies faced a similar banishment at the 2004 Curtis Cup and Michelle played great. Repeat?
