re: Tiger's chances at the U.S. Open

I think it will depend upon how high they build up the roughs.

Part of Tiger's problem is that his driving has been erratic. It didn't matter as much in the Masters as he could hit out of trouble. But, in the PGA, the rough was just way too deep for him given how often he wound up on them.

It used to be that he would hit the ball so far -- sometimes outhitting the rough -- compared to most other golfers. Now, the Johnson's, Rahm's, and Koepka's can outdrive him and can mostly keep the ball in the fairways. Even when a Koepka is in the rough, he has the strength to hit out of them -- Tiger no longer has the ability.
