Yeah, Brooke is box-office. There's nothing a cynic can fault. It's all about the golf instead of the princess routine. I hope she stays "hockey". The coverage can get old but its understandable. $

I get so frustrated about stuff like that. I recall back in the day when they would start Golf Central before a Major discussing the "rivalry" between 13-year-old Michelle Wie and Annika Sorenstam (!). No kidding, one time, on the Monday before one of the 2003 Majors, Kelly Tilghman with a straight face claimed that Wie was the only player in the field capable of stopping Sorenstam from winning; and this was during the prime years of Se Ri and Webb. (I can count on zero fingers the number of times anyone on Golf Central called Se Ri a legit rival of Sorenstam's, even though she DID sometimes beat her at Majors and other events back then). With Henderson, they were touting her as Ko's chief rival back before she had even won on the LPGA, and that was when Inbee Park was clearly Ko's main rival (or Lydia was Inbee's chief rival, not sure which ). Even with all Brooke has done since, I'm still not sure she has ever risen to that level.
