i am sympathetic to non-Americans being able to gain WAGR points much easier but the logic that signed D1 players should be able to qualify for the US junior is just very flawed. There's about 3000 active Division 1 golfers. I bet you at least half have never sniffed qualifying for it. Is it fair that some internationals take advantage of their WAGR ranking to get into the tournament? maybe. are there PLENTY of internationals who are just as good if not better than their american peers that can only get in through WAGR? also maybe.
the system is flawed but i dont think there is a much better way unfortunately.
