Michelle Wie with Dave

Golf phenom Michelle Wie was on top of her game as she went head to head with David Letterman on his show last night, poised, charming and more mature-looking than her 15 years, yet natural and relaxed.

(Note: The following part of the article pertaining to Good Morning America appeared in the print edition and does not appear on the internet. It was apparently written by Gree Kakesako.)

This morning Wie spent four minutes with ABC's Diane Sawyer on "Good Morning America".

Sawyer described Wie as "the great hope for every woman who dreams some day that there will be a woman right there taking on and beathing the men."

Sawyer said she had "to prove" that Wie was "just 15 years old" buy asking her who her heroes were." Presenting Wie with a white T-shirt Saywer asked if she could identify the face.

"Oh yeah," Wie said with a grin, "that's one of my favorites -- Brad Pitt.

"All right, she's 15," Sawyer proclaimed.

Wie was asked what her favorite food was.

Although the telecast's subtitles lited "sushi" along with "hot pink" as her favorite color, Wie responded: "Well, I don't know. This is my first time to New York and I had tried New York pizza. ... It was awesome. I had to get a heavy duty plate because the thing was so huge. It was so good with all that cheese and mushroom."

Noting that she was 6 feet, Sawyer asked: "Are you still growing?"

"No not growing. No more," was Wie's comeback.

Dressed in light sun dress, Wie was asked how she was going to continue balancing her golfing aspirations and her schooling. Wie said: "I have been doing this since forever. I am so used to juggling time and school and golf. When I go back to school (at Punahou) I concentrate on my school. I don't play in any tournaments. School comes first. It's not that hard."
