Outspoken Anna Rawson apologizes

| | Comments (0) |

Anna Rawson has apologized for using the word ''dyke'' in an Australian radio interview to refer to female golfers from 25 years ago. Here's what she said: ``The tour has got so much better with so many young stars and great players,'' Rawson told the radio station in an interview arranged by her father Jim. "But the mentality unfortunately amongst the media and the industry hasn't changed.
"They still think we're at 25 years ago when the tour was full of, you know, a lot of dykes and unattractive females nobody wanted to watch.''
Here's a recent column I wrote in which Anna Rawson is critical of PGA Tour players for not signing more autographs.
