That is just ridiculous!
It's going to be very dull watching everyone trying to play one dimensional golf over the next few days, certainly not much scope for anyone to show a bit of flair!

I can't wait to watch them fight for scores instead of playing on course set up for birdie golf
It will be the same for everyone with an emphasis on course management - should be great

Accurate driving, good iron play & a good caddie will be vital this week.
My money's on Adam Scott or Justin Rose

If the premium is on putting once you have finally reached the green then Speith will probably be hard to beat.

Surely course management is deciding what shot to hit and where to hit it, and there should be more than one way to play a hole.
Sounds like Oakmont is set up to only play the course one way. Might as well just send them to topgolf if it's a test of execution rather than a test of golf.

Will it not be a test of golf then ? The players will need to put the ball in the right place , find fairways and play sensibly - instead of what we see week in week out with players carving it all over the place yet having a perfect lie and line to the green

I mean maybe its a practice round and they might just be avoiding the pinnable spots to keep the players away from them but this is very borderline, this is stone cold stiff and rolling 5 dimples a second at one point.

Zach Johnson or Kuchar.
If greens are fast and tricked up I wouldn't be confident of Dustin Johnson or Rory's chances.

If Spieth can keep it in play he will be up there with his short game and putting. Stenson might have a chance. Rarely uses driver anyway, so keeps it in play nicely, so if he can have a good putting week he's got a chance.

Was ready to dispute this but a quick look at stats puts him #22 strokes gained off the tee and #13 in plain driving accuracy, don't know why I had him down as being quite wide.
Don't think he is putting or chipping anywhere near well enough to be a factor though

This is what I alluded to earlier on in the thread. To me it shows a side to a golfers course management that we often don't see as courses on the pga tend to favour those who hit furthest regardless of direction.
I love watching testing golf. Whether it proves tricked up or not they are all playing the same course.
I for one can't wait...Bring it on

His putting the other week was pretty tasty when he won.

Another who's really looking forward to it
Not a course I've watched on TV before (no idea what I was doing 9 years ago to miss it) but been on their course guide today and it just whets the appetite
We can see birdies & eagles any week of the tour but a great shot for par/bogey is still a great shot

It will be a war of attrition and only the patient will survive.
My worry would be how the course will slow the play down and wether anyone will be left watching to see who the winner is.

And not just because he is the 2nd part of a trebble, the 1st part being Willett to win the Masters

Apologies. I missed your mention of Stenson, and thought you were still talking about Spieth.

Really looking forward to it, but it can be a fine line, I don't want to see players punished for good shots like happened in San Francisco a few years back.
Tricking up the green or the fairways too much so good shots are punished is wrong.

I need to start being a bit more careful when booking holidays! I was in the Spain the weekend of the masters and I am in Woolacombe this weekend! Doh! Hopfully they have it in the club house but doubt it.
