I think you're on your own. The whole course set up is very jarring on the eyes. Just doesnt look right to me!

They hadnt tipped gallons of water on the greens before the practise rounds as they clearly did last night

I wanted this to beat the pro’s up big time. Hopefully they sub air these greens and hide the pins away tomorrow

A lot of chat that it'll be harder the weekend because there's not enough daylight to get everyone round if it's too hard thurs/Fri.
On a seperare note, I know it's a bit of a thing on old school US courses, but thick rough surrounding every green is pretty rubbish. I'm definitely not a fan (which will obviously bother them a great deal).

Crazy in the Tony, Bryson, Dustin group - 3 calls for rules officials for ball movement concerns in 3 holes!

Either the greens aren't as tough as people are making out or Lee Westwood is a much better putter than people give him credit for.

I've always felt his putting was just plain average, with good days and bad days, it just doesn't compare to his superb long game. His chipping is pretty dodgy though.

Good start for Westwood. Think his major opportunity has gone and don't think he'll have enough to win this but if the putter can keep ticking over who knows. He's not going to miss too many fairways

Seen plenty of good starts from him over the years
. Its the next three days that count.Still, I've always had a bet on him in majors out of some kind of local loyalty - this year the same. But, an each way bet at 150-1 ain't too bad a shout as he's well capable of bagging a place.

I wondered why he started so badly today, then I came on here and saw my answer. #homerskissofdeath

This is a proper golf course & a shame it's not used more often. All the expensive equipment & helpful golf ball, & still these best players can't hit fairways!

lets hope they dont water it overnight and it gets even harder tomorrow
some effort from Bryson to have 8 birdies and an eagle over 2 rounds too, can almost hear the outcry now if he wins

Amazing how much dislike there is for someone challenging the norm and trying to find better ways of doing things, being innovative and putting himself up there to be shot at. His abrasive personality will certainly turn some off to be not sure Id be as polite as he is most of the time they way hes being treated/commentated on.
Listen to the commentary on him and McIlroy and the different lenses theyre being viewed through is phenomenal
Theres a long queue happy to shoot him down mind

There was a vid I saw earlier with a stream behind one of the greens, it was running at about 30mph and not far from changing course across the green!
