Susie Whaley (sp) and the PGA

Susie Whaley did not make the cut for the Hartford Open today when she shot, I believe, a 78. That' s to bad because unlike Anika, Susie earned her spot on the PGA tour by qualifing and did not recieve and exemption.
I have a lot more respect for some one who earns their way rather than having it handed to them for PC or AA reasons.
I don' t know about the rest of the golfers here but IMO she certianly deserves respect from golfers who follow the PGA and I feel she has a right to play with the real Pro' s.

Logs, I have to disagree with you on this one. Her first day of the tourney she shot from the ladies tee' s, and to me that says she had no business being there. I have no problem with the ladies competing with the men, but it' s not competing if they play from different tee boxes.

Ok, that' s news to me. The little I did get a chance to see was on the sports and she was hitting from the same tees as the men. I don' t know why they would change it but that is not a level playing field.
Did you see any of Fridays?
