Michelle Wie says life in the public eye can be difficult when shes struggling as much as she did last year, but she is going to try to find her smile on the course this year.Wie is coming off her worst year a pro, finishing 105th on the LPGA money list last year, which forced her to play out of the tours major champions category this year. She won the U.S. Womens Open in 2014.I feel very fortunate people care enough about me to talk about me, good or bad, Wie said Tuesday in her ISPS Womens Australian News Conference. Sometimes, it does get rough, especially with a year like last year. Theres no lying about that, but at the same time, I do feel fortunate to have the fans I do, that stick with me through tough years, through the good and bad.Wie is eager to try out her new putting style this week, having abandoned her unorthodox table-top putting stance. She was frustrated missing the cut at the season-opening Pure Silk Bahamas Classic after hitting 34 of 36 greens in regulation but making only three birdies with her table-top stance. Shes going with a more classic upright stance this week, but with the Sergio Garcia-style claw grip.
