Aside from there being a PGA and an LPGA, women do NOT have the ability to compete on the PGA Tour. They flat out do not have the physical strength to compete on the courses on the PGA Tour.
Who cares?

Neither do I, but you can bet everything you own that if I qualified for a PGA tournament by some stroke of luck I would sure go play in the tournament.

If women truly can’t compete then a competitive qualification process will keep them out. This woman won that though, so she should go play.

A reason might be that she is afraid she will be embarassed.

So John Daly should play in any LPGA event. He'll qualify.
But he will not be allowed. He's a man and that threatens this so called equality movement. This is a ploy to keep the LPGA viable. This tour is weak. I noticed that ratings are never released about LPGA telecasts. Usually the Chi- Trib gives out these stats on PGA events but rarely shows LPGA numbers. Can you say no ratings. Besides women prefer to watch men play.

She also played from the ladies tees. Would she have won if she had been playing from 'the tips' with the men?

NO!

I hate to disagree with you patent but this staement is incorrect. While she's a great golfer, much better than I am, she scored the lowest amongst those who played a course 6200 yards long.

Somebody else scored the lowest among those who played from 6800 yards.

In other words she finished first among the women. She did not compete with the men.
