The jumping to conclusions has already begun.

With a victory in the Australian Ladies Masters on Sunday, Cheyenne Woods has been elevated to the next "it" in women's golf.

At least in the minds of some, who believe the niece of Tiger Woods is now on the fast track to superstardom.

In an attempt to slow that high-speed train down for just a minute, does anyone remember Michelle Wie, Morgan Pressel or Natalie Gulbis? For a variety of reasons, those three, as well as others, were going to be the next great thing in women's golf.

Even more to the point, Cheyenne Woods, a 23-year-old, hasn't even been good enough to qualify to play full-time on the LPGA or Ladies European Tour. She failed in two attempts to qualify for the LPGA and has played mostly on the SunCoast and Ladies European Tour.

But even there, she has struggled, finishing 78th on the Order of Merit there. That, in itself, doesn't engender much confidence in the graduate of Wake Forest. The LET doesn't have nearly the depth of the LPGA Tour.

So Woods has won two tournaments, one on the SunCoast Tour and this one on the Australian Tour. Winning anywhere is great and doing so at the lower levels of golf has been proven to be the way to great things at the higher levels.



The field in the Australian Ladies Masters was not without talent. Australian Karrie Webb was trying to win the tournament for a record ninth time. Jessica Korda, who won the LPGA Tour season-opener a couple weeks ago in the Bahamas, Caroline Hedwall, who helped the Europeans beat the United States in the Solheim Cup last year, and Yani Tseng, who had an impressive stretch as No. 1 in the world, were there as well.

But I think we are going way too fast with the predictions of great popularity and success waiting just around the corner for her.

Can we assume there will be increased interest in Woods among tournament sponso...
