Transgender Golfer Hailey Davidson Named First Alternate for U.S. Women's Open

Davidson, who narrowly missed direct qualification, faces controversy and social media backlash over potential participation.

Hailey Davidson finished third in the U.S. Women's Open qualifier, securing the first alternate spot.
Davidson's attempt to compete has sparked significant debate and criticism on social media.
The USGA's gender policy allows transgender women to compete under specific conditions.
Davidson had previously been banned from a women's professional tour due to new gender policy changes.
The U.S. Women's Open will take place at Lancaster Country Club in Pennsylvania later this month.
