I love the layout of this course, this place is amazing.

I want a US Open here.

I was about to post this. Imagine if the USGA let the rough grow to US Open thickness.

I'm not a fan of Gil Hanse tree butchering, but it does make days like today way more difficult, especially given how challenging the greens are

Am I crazy for giving Reed another chance and kind of rooting for him a little bit?

Is it butchering when you remove trees that someone else added later to return to the course to the original design?

Koepka > Reed as an underdog to root for. Reed’s game is currently better though

Fitzpatrick has the 2nd lowest average drive apex height on tour at 72'

Smalley down there as well at 82'

Scottie almost exactly tour average at 102'

Every course looked like that in that era. You could say the same for Augusta when it opened. Doesn't mean the course is better for it.

It's his shtick at every single course he redesigns. Cut down all the trees no matter what actually makes for interesting play.

Cameron Young has become a hell of a player.

Only a matter of time for a major.

I'm guessing you are arguing that Oakmont was wrong to remove its trees, Oak Hill was wrong to remove its trees, and Pinehurst was wrong to remove its rough.

Ohhhh Lowry in the drink. Didn't think we'd get a water ball this week.

The par 4 15th plays 542 today and the par 5 16th plays 538 because that makes sense.
