Wheeee!

Michelle Wie's die-hard detractors have nothing to cheer about this morning. She played huge (3-0-1 in her matches) and helped carry home the Solheim Cup for the Americans, driving 305 yards to beat the battling Helen Alfredsson by 1 up. The U.S. beat the Europeans 16-12.

When the Olympics finally adds eight days of team and individual Golf to the Games, the Solheim Cup will vanish in interest, because it won't be just the Americans vs. Europeans anymore. Korea, Japan, China, Mexico and Latin America are far more likely to sweep the medals when they have a chance to actually enter the competition!
