I'm watching it for a bit... Sickening how the announcers keep praising her... Sad day for golf, IMHO. She didn't have to qualify for this (I may be mistaken here), and she takes all of the attention away from all other golfers. So pathetic. I have to admit, I'm rooting for her to lose. Big time.

I'm in general agreement with you.

I really don't blame Annika - I blame the media - with their constant attempts to prove men and women are the same they turn things like this into a circus. Annika is doing what any competative person would want to do and that is challenge themselves.

She didn't ask for the attention. She wants to play golf. That's it. A person who plays at a certain level wants to keep challenging themselves and make it harder. The people who are pushed into it and keep winning with inferior foes become bored and drop out.
Anyone, and I mean anyone, who loves a sport would want to play that sport in any venue they can.

Didn't Fuzzy Zoeller say he wishes she breaks 150? LOL.

Unless you are arguing against corporate sponsor exemptions in the general, I can't see much validity to the complaint about her not qualifying.
The way I see it, the sponsors earned the right to a certain number of exemptions by their sponsoring.
She earned the attention of the sponsors by her performance over the years on the LPGA.
The attention she is getting is increasing viewership and interest, which is what sponsors want.

This is history in the making.
The only 'loser' is people like you who can't get over their prejudices.
