Transgender golfer Hailey Davidson has a legitimate chance to compete in this month's U.S. Women's Open after earning the first alternate spot at a qualifying tournament earlier this month. One woman forced to compete against the biological male in that event has elected to speak out about the ridiculous situation.

Davidson, who played for multiple men's teams in college, came within one stroke of automatically qualifying for the U.S. Women's Open at Bradenton Country Club in Florida earlier this month. Davidson birdied the opening playoff hole to claim the first alternate spot with two-time LPGA Tour winner Jasmine Suwannapura earning second alternate and professional Louise Olsson Campbell having her alternate opportunity taken from her.

One of the 55 women Davidson beat in the qualifier recalled one specific moment that stood out to her during the event.

"Best part was when he/him/she/her/it/the holed out [from] 40 feet off the green and goes ‘fu-k yeah’ with the lowest male tone I heard all day," the female player, who requested anonymity out of concern over repercussions for speaking out, said via direct messages. "Everyone was in shock and not a single person clapped."
