MICHELLE WIE: AGENT 0

by dswinder, Sons of Sam Malone

Well, it appears it's time to chalk up another tally on Michelle Wie's rise to shame. The eighteen-year old Stanford freshman was left without representation when her agent, Greg Nared, resigned Monday.

Nared, Wie's second agent, said in an email to the AP, that he is thankful for the opportunity he has been given, but his resignation is effective immediately.

"After careful consideration for my future, I have resigned effective immediately. I'm very grateful to the William Morris Agency for the opportunity to work with world-class athletes. It has been an invaluable experience and I'll forever cherish [it]."

The news should come as a heavy blow to Wie. Nared was there when the then seventeen-year old made the decision to withdraw from the Ginn Tribute earlier in the year after shooting 14-over through 16 holes. It may be time for Michelle Wie to rethink this whole professional golfing dream. The resignation of Nared is just icing on a cake, already mixed with high scoring averages (76.7), no rounds in the 60s, two cuts made, embarrassing performances, sketchy withdrawals, and more than her fair share of on course tears.

Maybe it's time for Momma and Poppa Wie to let little Michelle spread her wings and fly; because it seems trekking the links isn't turning out quite like they had drawn out in the ole retirement plan.
