I haven't really given this a lot of thought so forgive my being naive if that's the case. So far I've come up with a few thoughts...

This is an invitational so I don't really think she's taking a spot from someone. They invite all kinds of people to these, and not neccessarily only the deserving.
Vijay is getting grilled for saying what he said based on how he feels and it's a shame. You don't make the tour for being tactful and politically correct- so you certainly don't get kicked off for being outspoken- even if you come off as a prick. Maybe he loses sponsors, but that's his problem. I say cut him some slack. Besides, he recanted like a wuss anyway.
Lastly, I don't think Annika came into this as a publicity stunt or any other shady reason. I honestly think she wants to test herself against the boys. I liken it (at least by a fraction) to Jordan taking on baseball. She wants the test. I say good for her if she gets the invite.

I do sorta hope she doesn't make the cut so this doesn't get out of control. But at the same time- it would be really cool to see her do well. I just don't want her to win because I don't want to see the Martha Burkes of the world come out and demand a spot on the PGA.

that's my ramble anyway
