A transgender golfer bumped a female competitor from winning a golf championship and her possible spot in the LPGA qualifying tour.
Hailey Davidson, a man participating in the women’s golf event, won the NXXT Women’s Classic on Jan. 17 at the Mission Inn Resort & Club, according to the New York Post.
Davidson ended the three-round Florida tournament +4 after shooting one-over-73, the outlet reported. The 30-year-old Scottish native was three shots behind with two holes to go before a playoff was forced after the 18th hole, Davidson’s celebratory Instagram post stated.
“Honestly this one came as a bit of a surprise to me,” Davidson wrote. “Being 3 shots back with two holes to play I got myself into a playoff after sticking it to 3 feet on the 18th hole. We tied the first playoff hole with a birdie and then a Par on the second earned me my first win in 2.5 years!”
