I’m a reflexive defender of guy institutions, from the old VMI to Augusta National. I’m easily moved by guy movies, from Frequency to Old School (OK, maybe I wasn’t quite moved by it, but it was great fun). So, I’m a little surprised by my reaction to the Annika Sorenstam business. If she can play with the big boys, why not? You can certainly make all the usual points about how the best woman is as only as good as the middling men, but that seems churlish in light of what seems to have been extraordinary performance under great pressure (which is part of what sports is all about). Good for her…
