Tiger and a lot of the heavy swingers routinely put a lot of spin out of heavy rough, because it doesn't back up 20 ft doesn't mean it didn't have lots of spin. In the tour championship Phil hit a 6 iron 205 from 4 inch rough and he hit it so high it backed up a foot. VJ does that stuff all the time as well.
If you have the power to go threw the grass without loosing the swing speed the grass won't stop it from spinning. Very few people have the power to do that and still hit the ball perfect though.
