July 22, 2008- The
Judas syndrome is best described as a self serving but unconscious desire to at
best fail, at worse self destruct. A recent example of Judas syndrome self
destruction would be former New York Governor Ben Spitzer whose foolishly open
dealings with prostitutes led to his public humiliation and that of his family
as well.
Often times the
Judas syndrome is brought to bare by extraordinary expectations set by one's
parents especially one's father and the child's not only lack of desire to fulfill
these expectations but a self hatred for failing to do so as well.
One has to wonder
if this is what really ails Michelle Wie. Let's start back in 2006 when the
Young Wie was playing like the champion she can become. Starting with the 2006 Women's British
Open the young teen commits her second rules infraction of the season leading to
her virtual collapse finishing tied for 26th, her worst LPGA performance to that
point in the 2006 season. Then later on in the season instead of hitting a ball
from the cart path she takes a drop, it rolls under a bush and she proceeds to whiff
at the 2006 Samsung World Championship resulting in a major league melt down that
leaves her 21 strokes behind the winner. Moving on to the injury plagued and
disappointing 2007 season we see nothing but low lights and troubles.
