In fairness I think Golf is a sport where a Woman can potentially compete with men. What I don't like is that the spot was gifted and not earned. Its not that it wont be fun to watch but rather that it was rammed down the PGA's throat whether they liked it or not. It would be different if she actually had to qualify. The other issue I have is all this BS about Women not being able to play Augusta. While that course doesn't allow Women to play the PGA does allow Women to play unlike the LPGA where you need to be born a woman to even qualify to play. For those reasons I hope she gets thrashed. The double standard is with the LPGA not the PGA. It also exists in EN-title 9 where clearly there would be no womens sports if womens athletics were responsible for paying their own way. I'm sure I'll be real popular after this post <g>
