A Wie bit of trouble Michelle Wie shoots a 79 in the opening round of the Sony Open in Honolulu, putting her ahead of one male competitor after 18 holes. The 16-year-old high school junior said she "needed some chocolate" after the round. Two questions: 1) Should a 16-year-old be playing professionally and, if so, 2) Is it time for Wie to focus on winning on the LPGA tour before tackling the PGA?

Well, Sony sponsors the tournament and they can give an exemption to anyone they choose. And, now that she's a pro, SONY is one of her sponsors. Plus, she's a local celebrity. If they want to invite her, I can't blame her for playing.
