Michelle Wei, Golf’s New Teen Sensation

You are looking at the picture of golf’s teen sensation, Michelle Wei of Hawaii, a 13-year-old girl whose features defy the limits of her age.
She recently made golfing waves in the 2003 U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links golf tournament by capturing the champion’s trophy and becoming the youngest winner of the event at age 11. She also recorded her name as the youngest golfer ever to play in a Professional Golf Association (PGA) event when she teed off at the Sony Open on January 15, 2004. Her participation in the event also marked the only fourth time in the long history of the PGA to have a female joining a male-dominated professional group.
Her ballooning popularity has actually landed her on the front cover of Fortune magazine and has even got the lucidity of some people to the limit when she is thought of to be the anti-christ because of her phenomenal golfing prowess.
Is she the heir-apparent to the throne now occupied by Tiger Woods?
