Michelle Wie is at least aware that her putting stance is goofy

January 08, 2014

__Last week we told you about Michelle Wie's dalliance with a lefty golf swing, which actually wasn't bad for someone who makes their living from the other side.

Now comes Wie's new putting stance. Sort of. OK, not really. Anyway, with a nod to her real hunched-over, that-can't-feel-good-after-18-holes setup, Wie tweeted out a photo of a new version she claims to be toying with.

Hey guys! I would like to debut my new putting stance! #donttrythisathome @DavidLeadbetter pic.twitter.com/Zw1kmGslM6

"A lot of people have talked about my putting stance," Wie told GolfChannel.com at the Solheim Cup. "I honestly don't care how I look as long as I make putts. "I think that you walk up to any professional golfer and you tell them, give them a choice between looking cool and making putts, and I'm pretty sure everyone's going to say making putts."
