Michelle with singer-actor Aaron Kwok
Michelle Wie was in Hong Kong following the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia to participate in a golf even to raise funds for UNICEF. The event was aimed at benefiting UNICEF's Child-Friendly Schools Program in East Asia and the Pacific. A terrific cause and great for Michelle to participate.
But, of course, what reached back here to the States were her comments on current prodigy, 16-year old Alexis Thompson.
Michelle was also a prodigy, of course. She didn't win an LPGA tournament at 16 like Lexi has done. But she did display great talent and knows what it's like to be under the microscope at an early age.

"I think she'll be fine. It brings on a lot of pressure but I think you have to put everything into perspective and to keep working and try not to listen to what people say. You're going to have your ups and downs, you're going to let some people down. But it's your life, you've got to enjoy it, you've got to enjoy working at it. I think she definitely has the game. I think she definitely deserves to be out there." - Michelle Wie, on Lexi Thompson
