Wie still striving with 'gruesome' workload

From NY Times: Michelle Wie's career is still driven toward golf, but it has diversified of late. In the past year, Wie has stepped outside the lines of her paint-by-numbers life, pushing her limits and pursuing other interests. She prepared for her second full season on the L.P.G.A. Tour by cramming 20 units into her winter quarter at Stanford.

Masters to look hypocritical in Woods's case

From NY Daily News: Augusta National and The Masters are about to try the look of hypocrisy on for size. There is no way Masters chairman Billy Payne is going to acknowledge any material on a Web site where the host is baring her breasts while staring provocatively into the camera. As a past Masters champion and honorary Augusta member, Woods can play each April until his golf game grows cobwebs. Unlike with the PGA Tour, there is no precedent for the Masters to rescind an invite of any participant because of behavior off the course and the tournament does...
