at no times she was 'out of balance', she knew it and still she wanted to talk herself out of it using that lame excuse. This fiasco is not so much of rule violation, it's abt sportmanship or sportwomanship. Wie has got a lot to learn. Thumb down for MW.

Agree...a really talented player but she's gonna do much better than this to earn people's respect.
