Grandfather's town no longer passes hat to fund Wie

SEOUL, Oct 10 (Reuters) - In the remote South Korean town of Jangheung, the locals used to pass around the hat to help support Wie Sang-kyu's granddaughter -- a little girl in Hawaii with a hankering for golf.

In the remote South Korean town of Jangheung, the locals used to pass around the hat to help support Wie Sang-kyu's granddaughter -- a little girl in Hawaii with a hankering for golf.
They are not collecting funds any more because that girl is Michelle Wie and she is set to become one of the richest women athletes after announcing last week that she will turn professional.

American schoolgirl Wie, 15, is the most celebrated young golfer since Tiger Woods, and she is certainly the most famous Korean-American in the South Korean town where her grandfather still lives.

"I am just so happy for her," the older Wie said by telephone. "It's incredible."

Wie Sang-kyu is a retired professor who taught aeronautics at one of South Korea's most prestigious schools, Seoul National University. According to reports in local media, he was a jet fighter pilot during the Korean War.

Hawaiian-born Michelle has visited Jangheung, which has a population of some 48,000, to see her relatives.

"Michelle really likes to chat with me, but she is so busy these days. She likes to share the good things and bad things with me," Wie said.
