They redid the course when Tiger was hitting it 290-300. Bryson is driving it 370 at times. He is going to win, assuming he dials in the short irons. You can absolutely overpower that course. If you've ever been there, you can stand on most tees as a single digit and think to yourself, "yea, I'm not going to miss that fairway." Imagine being a tour player and driving it 350. He'll have wedge into every green. You don't need all the shots when your only shot is wedge.

Ge was 67th out of 70 in proximity and negative strokes gained approach im pretty sure. Its not like that is a given. ANGC will truly punish those shots

Tiger was/is also one of the best ball strikers, wedge players, and putters in history. He didn’t win just because he was bashing the ball

I’ve been there many times.

My index is 8.7.

I would be thrilled to break 100 from The member tees.

Tiger wasn’t driving it only 300 back then. Guy was hitting it 330 with steel shafts in his driver. No offense to Bryson but that is more insane than what Bryson was doing.
