She also played from the ladies tees.
She should not be allowed to play from the ladies tees in a competitive situation. This I would agree with, she should compete just the same as everyone else.

That said, if she did compete from the men’s tees, and still won, would you still object to her participation on the PGA tournament? I would not. For some on this thread it seems to be her gender that is the problem, not where she teed off from. Please correct me if I'm wrong, Phantom Lord.

If she had won her qualifying tournament against the men from the same tees as the men I would be inclined to let her play in the PGA event. I do not know if the PGA has a written rule against allowing females to compete. If they do, then under no circumstances should women be allowed to enter. If they do not, then if she qualifies under the same conditions and on the same course (meaning same tees) as the men, then fine.

But qualifying for a single event and being competitive on the PGA Tour are two totally different things.
