Transitioning: Caitlyn Jenner Plays ANA Inspiration Pro-Am

/

The one big negative of Caitlyn Jenner playing the ANA Inspiration (aka Dinah Shore) Pro-Am Wednesday?

A reminder that the LPGA Tour's first major that kicks off Thursday, and arguably its most historic and important event of the year, has a pro-am.

ESPNW.com's Melissa Issacson reports on Jenner's "first tournament since her transition" including a hole-out for eagle on her first hole.

Also, Jenner says her home club, Sherwood, has been very supportive.

A single-digit handicapper before her transition, Jenner said she is treated "better" as a woman at her home course, Sherwood Country Club near Thousand Oaks.

"They changed everything [for me]," the former Olympic decathlon gold medalist said. "A locker room change. They went right to my handicap from the ladies tees. There was a tournament they said I couldn't play because it was a men's tournament. They're all in there, so they've been great. And next week they have a ladies tournament and all the ladies want me to play."

There is one issue. Jenner seems to be admitting to anchoring to pro-am partner Danielle Kang.

"She told me she putts better now because her boobs anchor her," Kang said.

"Yes, I do," Jenner agreed.
