The Irrelevant Major Championship Winner

Hello. Congrats to Morgan Pressel for winning the Kraft Nabisco Championship. Pressel at 18 becomes the youngest woman major winner ever, surpassing Canada's own Sandra Post. Needless to say it's quite an historic accomplishment. However, to most of the golf world it's irrelevant.
Why? Because the golf world is still much more excited about that other teenage woman golfer, Michelle Wie. Never mind that Pressel has won a US Women's Amateur, finished 2nd in the US Women's Open and now won a major. Wie is still the more marketable player, even though she hasn't won anything anywhere since the 2003 US Women's Public Links Amateur.
In fact some Wie fans may be saying today that Wie might have won yesterday if she hadn't been sidelined by a wrist injury. While she has done well in this event in particular (3rd in 2006), it's unfair to Pressel that Wie should be considered better now. Unfortunately, it's going to take a long time and a lot of Pressel victories before it's common knowledge.
Congrats to Pressel on a fine victory. Here's hoping she will become more relevant.
Regards,
Irrelevant

I live on Oahu where the infamous MW lives. She's not worthy of anything, just a Nike marketing hype gone awry. How will they ever recoup their investment. MW is such a joke, but now she's nowhere. Google searches show old news or sham use of her name. Yeah she has made more money than me due to grifting of the media. But she has to look in the mirror everyday and be ashamed.
