Ability doesn't equate with size.

A 13-year-old 100-pound 5'0" geeky girl with a 170iq is no less able to do things that require a high IQ than a 30-year-old 170-pound 5'10" guy who has a perfect 6-pack and can lift 240 pounds with one hand.

A short, slender, agile but not muscular amateur league golfer female who has 20 years experience playing and has 11 holes in one recorded in league play, is no less capable of being on a man's league than a heavier, taller, more muscular male with 20 years of experience playing with 11 holes in one recorded in league play.

A female bowler with a 235 average is no less capable of bowling a 300 than a male bowler with a 235 average.
Two unique cases does not prove your point...

Ability, in most sports most certainly does differ due to size and strength...

YOU were the one who insisted we separate people based on size ("like they do in boxing"), remember?

Oh, and 11 holes in one? Sheer luck. Any pro will tell you that. Yes, they can get it close to the pin, but putting it in the hole is luck... I've either hit the pin, or rolled it past by and inch countless times in my 50 years of playing golf. It's just never dropped in... yet...
