"I'm going to bring my daughters out to watch her," the three-time winner on TOUR stated. "I think it's great. You know, I tell my daughters all the time that anything boys can do, girls can do better. She's a great player and she will make the cut in a PGA TOUR event. I hope she makes it this week."

Wie's invitation has been the subject of many conversations around the Montreaux Golf and Country in Reno, Nev., both in the locker room and in the gallery. Though opinions have varied, there has been strong agreement that the level of interest in the tournament has taken a significant leap due to her inclusion. McCarron shares the enthusiasm, but believes that Wie's future prospects will reach much higher goals.

"Great leaders, people who make a real difference, are often unpopular as they go about changing the world," explained McCarron. "She's a special lady and a great asset to the world of golf."
