i just came across the following article:

if michelle wins the u.s. amateur or the amateur public links, she gets an automatic exemption to the masters. since she received an exemption to the u.s. women's open and didn't have to qualify, she can play in the u.s. amateur public links. i'll definitely be keeping my eye on that.
