You are right- there are some criteria that still have to be met. I believe it is a 2 handicap or better? But those criteria were met.

My point is, that for these tournaments, there are those who do not have to qualify (due to past PGA success), those who do have to qualify, and those who get sponsor exemptions. All three are legitimate ways of earning the way into the tournament. Her spot today was legitimate, as long as there are going to be sponsor exemptions.

No one said her spot wasn't legitimate, the debate is whether she earned it like all the other "big boys" the media is so quick to point out that she can play with.

If you're contention is that receiving a sponsor exemption is earning a spot, then there is no further need for debate. I disagree with the premise.

I was not aware that she had a men's handicap. Could you please tell us what it is?
