Female Golfer Denied Trophy Over Rule

I will preface this post by saying I watch the LPGA at least twice as much as the PGA. I feel what's lost in this "outrage" is that she also has the option to golf the women's side in the spring. I have no problem with her winning the trophy on the boy's side. Zero. None. But then she shouldn't be eligible on the women's side. Easy solution. Of course it's a ridiculous rule, but I assume it's in place so the women's side doesn't get diminished. Regardless, it was handled very poorly, and showed an immense lack of foresight (as if the powers that be didn't believe a girl could win from the same tee boxes). Believe me, in my bowling life I've been whooped by many a female and while it sucks to get beat by anyone, hats off to the many fine women bowlers that knocked me down a notch.
