Outburst At 2012 HSBC Women's Champions
Following poor play at the HSBC Women's Champions, Wie slammed her hybrid club into the ground and screamed out a four-letter expletive. One spectator said: "I've never heard such an outburst from a professional golfer right in front of the fans. It was terrible to see, especially for the children. What kind of example does that set?". Wie later apologized for her behavior, saying: "But you know, obviously I apologize. It was unacceptable."

Famous quotes containing the words outburst, women and/or champions:
“As soon as I suspect a fine effect is being achieved by accident I lose interest. I am not interested ... in unskilled labor.... The scientific actor is an even worker. Any one may achieve on some rare occasion an outburst of genuine feeling, a gesture of imperishable beauty, a ringing accent of truth; but your scientific actor knows how he did it. He can repeat it again and again and again. He can be depended on.”
—Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
“... pure and intelligent women can be deceived and misled by the baser sort, their very innocence and experience making them credulous and the helpless tools of the guilty and bold.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“Did all the lets and bars appear
To every just or larger end,
Whence should come the trust and cheer?
Youth must its ignorant impulse lend—
Age finds place in the rear.
All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys,
The champions and enthusiasts of the state:”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
