  1. She started golfing to earn some money as a teaching pro to support her disabled father. When she became number one golfer in KLPGA, she hesitated to leave her parents for playing in LPGA. Congratulations "Hot Six"!!

  2. Michelle Wie: "As a Korean American female golfer, these comments that @HankHaney made disappoint and anger me on so many different levels."
    Hank spoke THE TRUTH! Now if you shut up and work on your game as hard as your mainland Korean sisters, you might end up winning more tournaments for yourself…or do you want to play against the men again?

  3. I assume all of those blasting Hank Haney the past two days will apologize? Don't worry, it was a rhetorical question.

  4. Hank Haney's suspension from his radio show is beyond asinine. A USA Today article stated that his remark was "despicable" and that he should never be allowed to set foot on a golf course again! What brand of insanity is this? When did we all enter this alternate reality? This is just absolutely unbelievable. Can people get any more sensitive than this? Haney said nothing wrong whatsoever. Anyone who thinks he did has shit for brains.

  5. I love Women's golf and I love the plethora of South Korean and Asian women who dominate the sport. They're all individuals, not just different characters of "Lee." And the surname Lee is not just used in Korean. Congrats Lee6. Fuck a hater!

  6. It's so cool that she actually made 6 a letter. I'm going to put a number at the end of my name, just to mess with the DMV.

  7. I am asian american from Hawaii and yes even to me it seems majority of Koreans have last names Lee, Kim, or Park , but imagine if a number of americans or europeans were playing the asian tour and they named them Smith7 or Jones5 or Johnson8?? I don't think that would go over very well.
