Should Lydia Ko turn pro?<\/p>\n
There’s a growing buzz about her future after the 15-year-old amateur sensation won the New Zealand Women’s Open last week for her third professional title in 53 weeks.<\/p>\n
Michelle Wie, who turned pro just days before her 16th birthday, likes the affable Ko. Wie was asked what advice she would give Ko about turning pro.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have no advice for her,\u201d Wie said. \u201cTurning pro or not turning pro, going to college, not going to college, it’s a very personal decision. It’s not something someone can say: `I think you should turn pro. I think you should stay an amateur. I think you should do this or that.’<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s her life; it’s her career. When I turned pro, I really wanted to turn pro. That was a very personal decision for me. I really wanted to do that, and I have no regrets. I hope she makes the right decision for her. Whatever decision she makes, it has to really just be on her and what she wants to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wie, Ko and Yani Tseng are paired together in the first two rounds of the ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open this week.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe’s a phenomenal player,\u201d Wie said. \u201cThe fact that she’s won three times in the last 53 weeks, it’s phenomenal. She’s really a nice person as well. She seems like she has a great head on her shoulders. She just seems like a kid. So, I hope she stays that way, and she just keeps getting better. I hope she just enjoys it.\u201d<\/p>\n
