Hailey Davidson, from Stair in Ayrshire, became the first transgender woman to earn a Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) tour card and is currently taking part in the LPGA and Epson Tour Qualifying School in Palm Springs, America.The decision to allow 29-year-old Hailey, who transitioned last year, to compete alongside her female competitors has sparked debate within the sports community online.
Tennis coach Judy Murray branded the decision to allow the trans athlete to compete as 'wrong' and unfair on the other competitors.
Sharing a tweet about the golfer, the tennis coach wrote: "No. Not fair at all."Protect women’s sport. Listen to the facts, the scientists and the medics.
