While we've already covered the phenomenon of men playing in the Ladies event, and there are obviously plenty of Seniors competing in that tournament as well, we haven't seen a single woman competing in today's Senior event.

Perhaps the words of Alyson Parker proved to be prophetic, as she explained that most women prefer to play in the company of the fairer sex, rather than endure the pressure of a patriarchal environment.

Nonetheless, the fact that few - if any - women sat down to try their hand against the boys club struck our eye, so we'd like to pass along that nugget of information to readers.
