Michelle Wie's swing coach, David Leadbetter, said in the Toronto Globe and Mail that if Wie hadn't played with the men in 2006, she would have had her best season yet. He said, "It was absolute madness for her to play them. That started the whole debacle. Now with Greg Nared leaving, you feel like this is the Titanic." Nared, Wie's agent from 2006-2007, resigned on Monday. Leadbetter also criticized Wie for playing with an injured wrist and not letting it heal properly. "First, the wrist hadn't healed properly and she'd done very little rehab. You don't come back and play so fast," said Leadbetter. "The injury has to heal and then you have to rehab it. Then you have to get stronger...Michelle bypassed the whole process." Wie said last week at the Samsung World Championship, where she finished second to last, that if she could do it over again, she would not have played this year due to the injury. Leadbetter, who was ranked second in Golf Digest's listing of America's 50 greatest teachers, said, "I'm scared for her future."
