To further your argument that he's an idiot and most likely very insecure I'd have to ask what upside he possibly sees in this? Odds are he won't win, and what with his history of dealing with pressure situations I think there are pretty good odds he wouldn't place in the top 10. So what has he gained? If he does win what does that get him other than a place at the front of the line for twerp of the year?

And while he's at it why doesn't he enter some amateur events? Maybe he could enter the BF Nowhere Amateur and win a ribbon

The guy has rocks for brains.

I agree. I wish these idiots would shut the hell up about women playing in "mens'" events. They're not mens' events. They're events. The best should win. If it's a woman, so be it. If you disagree then go practice so you're not threatened by a non-male.

I think it would be great to see a woman win what is normally considered a man's
event. One would hope it would shut down some of the current babies on tour.

I'll throw in a different twist. Since the professional golf tours here in the US appear to be struggling for viewership and excitement, then consider combining both non-senior tours into one organization. Is there really a need for two separate tours (PGA and LPGA)? Have one tour open to all contestants and then you'd get to see the best of the best, regardless of gender, competing against each other every week.

Tim, that's an interesting idea. I would certainly support at least a few tournaments that were jointly sponsored by the major men's and women's tours.

Great Idea. Now who can we get to send it to the New York Times?

I would support this idea and probably buy tickets which I have not done for years.
