Yes, she will hit from the same tees, and play the same rules as the men.

As an aside, this is not always the case when men and women play together professionally.

I marshalled a mixed professional tourament at Pebble Beach several years ago. PGA Tour players hit from the Championship Tees, Seniors hit from the Whites, and Women hit from the Reds.

The year I marshalled, Robert Gamez (I think that's the spelling) won, but the year prior, Juli Inkster, who grew up nearby, won.

That was my first time to see women professionals. It was actually inspiring for a middle-of-the-pack amature. When you see the men routinely drive the ball 300+ yards on a tight course, I thought, "I'll never be able to do that." But watching the much-shorter-hitting women score very well makes me think I could score that well if I worked on my iron game and short game.

Does that mean she has to wear long pants?

I know the feeling, but the men have much better iron games, and they are much better with sand shots, chips, and putting as well, believe it or not. If you really want to be inspired, watch some of the shorter hitters on the men's tour.
