She played with the men, fromteh same tees as the men and won the darn thing. She deserves to play. Annika in the Colonial is just a publicity thing and in my mind takes away from the achievment of the other player. She is playing from the same tees as the men.

Wrong.
http://ydr.com/story/salter/4259 ["she played from forward tees and played 10 percent less of the course than did her male competitors."] But I agree that she deserves to play more than Sorenstam. She qualified for the tournament under the PGA's rules.
