It looks as though Michelle Wie will be headed to stanford come fall where she will attend school. She won’t be able to play golf because she’s already turned pro so she won’t really be following in Tiger Woods’ footsteps.

She seems excited but I’m not sure how long she’ll last over there.

What do you think?

The victory came with a few quirks though. Tiger Woods, who played magnificent;y during his matches was on the seventh green, just beyond the water when his caddie, Steve Williams decided to wash his 9 iron in the pond just shy of where the two were standing. Steve slipped and in went his 9 iron. The amusing thing was Williams looked back at Woods in a way that seemed as though Wiliams was just brushing off what happened. You just dropped the number one players 9 iron in the water!

Woods appeared to shrug it off and laugh a bit, which was all they could do. A diver later retrieved the club and returned it to it’s rightful owner on number 15.

Also interesting on the final day was the fact that the European team could have won in record fashion, breaking their 2004 mark. However in what would become a deciding gentlemenly gesture, Paul McGinley gave American J.J. Henry a 25 foot putt on the 18th hole which allowed the Americans an extra half point.

Although there was still players out on the course, the European team had the cup won and McGinley thought it the right thing to do. He probably will be getting some crap for that but that doesn’t erase the fact that those guys spanked the Americans.

But the day belonged to Tiger, Tiger woods would shoot an 8 under 63 to top Vijay by three strokes in the tournament and leave the rest of the field where he’s been leaving them over the past few weeks, in the dust and just scraping for the leaderboard and a share of the money.

Tiger Woods showed us that Sunday’s round was just a fluke, he came out blazing and never looked back, playing the first 7 hole sin 6 under par. He was smashing second shots on par 5′s within 10 feet, like the 3 wood he dropped just 10 feet from the hole while he was 266 yards out. Most people cower in the corner while standing over a shot like that.

Tiger Woods is on a role, we can’t wait to see how he fairs in the next tournament and will be sure to keep you up to date.
