Augusta is set up though for a dramatic finish because the first three holes of the back nine are very tough, then the next four you can score anywhere from -2 to -6, then the last two holes can be gotten at with bravery, but they are not easy. So there's lots of room for a run (or a collapse). Augusta is also basically a regular tour stop, so guys know the course very well. US Open courses are usually not regular PGA courses (outside Pebble Beach pretty much), and a lot more depends on the weather too, just as much as the brutal conditions. The only time major golf sucks is when it's a blowout or Patrick Reed wins. Even when it's the US Open or Open Championship and guys are struggling for pars, there's drama because the scoreboard is constantly in flux.
