Good for her (honestly). I will note, however, that she didn't do it on the PGA. And if any female can compete with the men on the PGA in the future, it will be Wie. That girl has POWER.

Also note, Pak said the following after making the cut, "Yesterday and today has been the most burdening time of my professional career, psychological and mentally." So, as far as soundbites go, she's already prepared for The Tour.

Edited to add: Also in the article: Shin Yong-jin, this year's money leader on the Korean tour, thought Pak benefited because of the layout.

"I think the course was made to have Se Ri Pak make the cut," Shin said. "I knew she would make the cut even before coming into the game."

Pak contends the course played to the men's strength.

"Because the fairways are wide and the course is short, I think it's more advantageous for the men," she said.

Most of the par 5s were downhill, half the par 4s shorter than 400 yards and all par 3s under 190 yards. Despite her short drives, Pak could hit the green with middle or short irons on most par 4s.

Shin said it would have been difficult for Pak to make the cut at Woo Jeong Hills, where LPGA veteran Laura Davies missed the cut against the men at the Asian PGA's Korean Open last month.
