Jennifer Capriati had some legitimate titles in the win column before she wasted some years with drugs...but I believe she's straightened out now As far as MW goes, she probably can't get rid of her Pop til she's 18!

Took a 10 on her 3rd hole today....then WD's. Nice class act by this girl. Left out the side door of the clubhouse today to avoid reporters and left a ton of momentos that she was supposed to autographed, unsigned.

I really wanted to see her do well....but it is becoming increasingly difficult in finding a reason to root for her.

Lots of growing up to do....and her old man has really lost it.

Is this not the pinnacle cowardice in Golf if you are not injured? Kev?

It is Pat. She has had wrist problems earlier this year, but her and her agent were more afraid of the 88 rule, than anything else.

I feel more sorry for Ashley Gomes. This wonderful young lady is trying to make a living out there and was the last one bumped from the tournament when the sponsors gave Wie an exemption. I know she puts people in the seats...but for God's sake, honor you commitment. Even if you do suffer a real injury, stick around another couple days and make sure you keep the sponsors happy.

This girl has a long way to go and alot to learn.

just another addition to the long list of spoiled young athletes that has truly lost the edge to compete.....it's crazy what a lot of money will do to the attitude of some.....make a 10 and quit because I still have my endorsements...they forget where their bread is buttered and then it becomes too late and they are the one that had all the potential but never realized it.....shame....

Mike Celizic is one of my favorite sports writers. I think he's pretty spot on with this one.

As I've said before, she needs to dump her Dad...but I don't think her game is washed up,just stagnant! She's also using her age to side-step responsibility for her actions. Only time will tell
