Think about it. Why was the exemption passed on to Michelle? Money. Annika's a great female golfer but the LPGA doesn't do so well on TV even with her in the tournament. Michelle can benefit the LPGA Tour in the way that Tiger benefited the PGA Tour.

I've heard that "she would have qualified if she were a pro" argument but the fact is, she's an amateur. There's all of this talk about ammending the rules. This is a whole different topic. We know what the rules are as of this moment and the rules say you must be in the top 30 of the money list. To do this, you have to be pro. Let her qualify the same way every other amateur will try to qualify.
