I’m not as negative as some, I enjoyed the tournament and the coverage. The course has potential but in the end, not a US Open setup.
A guy has a one shot lead coming into the 72nd hole and there is zero pressure on his tee shot because the fairway is a mile wide. Sure enough he hits an awful tee shot and is not penalized in the least. The scores relative to par were only somewhat reasonable because they lowered the par to 70 and lengthened the tees.
Seems like the USGA is doing away with the premium on driving accuracy.
