I never said she had a men's handicap.
Earlier someone said that the Sponsor Exemptions have to meet some criteria, saying he thought it is a 2 handicap. I have no knowledge as to what it is.
My point is that the rules were not changed to allow her to play. Existing rules allowed her to get a sponsor exemption. To me, that means she is there by merit. It may not be the same merit as those who played in by qualifying, but it is a legitimate merit as defined in the PGA rules (namely, having some sort of appeal that a sponsor wanted to use an exemption on).

She did not meet the criteria for a sponsor's exemption. She has never won a penny on any men's tour, and she does not have a men's handicap.
