Follow the wee money trail

First reaction to hearing Michelle Wie had been disqualified Saturday for not signing her scorecard in the LPGA Tournament in Springfield, Ill.?

Maybe she thought she was exempt, like she has been several times in that other pro tournament in Illinois in the Quad Cities (John Deere Classic) , thought the smart alec in me.

But then I read that Wie hadn't signed her card for Friday's round. Somehow, LPGA officials didn't DQ her until after she had played her round on Saturday. (She would have been in second place had it stood).

So who was more delinquent? Wie for not properly signing the card or LPGA officials for not disqualifying her before she played that round Saturday. They said they weren't informed until after she started her round on Saturday.

Don't imagine there would have been financial reasons. You know, like a lot of people drawn to the event on Saturday to see, among others, a player like, I don't know, Wie?

Nah!

Of course, there were only two of the tour's top 10 money winners at the event.

We're not saying. Bull, we are saying.
