My first thought about this is, he's doing it because he thinks he possibly can earn a big paycheck.

What is he going to prove? Is it going to spite Annika? Does he just want to get his 15 minutes of fame?

Annika is doing it to test herself and her skills against the men, she is the best womens player in the world. I can fully understand her trying to see how she would fair against the men. She certainly isnt doing it for monetary reasons, being she is already rich beyond most anyones means and if she so chose, she could have played the womens event that week and certainly be virtually guarnteed a big paycheck, by virtue of the fact she is dominaing her tour.

But what is his point? Just to say Annika shouldnt be playing in a mens event?

He ought to worry more about becoming a regular tour player..................then again he probably cant, might be why at 31 he is on the Nationwide Tour.

Sounds to me like a guy who just wants to be talked about and maybe be able to pick up some cash.
