71, one-over

As you've certainly heard by now, Annika Sörenstam played golf today. By doing so at the Colonial, she became the first woman to play on the PGA Tour in 58 years.

There's been quite the uproar about it, most of which I have a hard time seeing as anything but blatant sexism. The most absurd claim that I've read went something like, "The LPGA Tour is for the best female golfers and the PGA Tour is for the best male golfers. Annika should know her place and stay in it." Way to condescend and just make stuff up. Is there a silent M before PGA I'm missing?

Lots of golf writers weighed in about how they thought Sörenstam would do. Not a one predicted she'd make the cut. But at one-over par, she's in good shape. I wouldn't be surprised if she broke par tomorrow.
