DeChanbeaux certainly earned his victory.... He was a machine today. Wolff could not catch a break.

I feel for Harris English. There is no excuse for the USGA not having enough people there to find balls in the rough, even w/o spectators. That's ridiculous to have to go back to the tee with a penalty for simply hitting it in rough grass.

Well, there is the theory a pro should be able to hit a ball reasonably close enough to the playing area that the ball can be found within 3 min.

From my perspective the officials finding and marking errant tees are there as a function of keeping the round going for TV purposes. All us hackers have to suck it up and find our balls within the same 3 minute time frame.

Well crap, looking like worst possible outcome.

Not for me, I like the guy. He's a little arrogant and pinkish, but his golf today was extraordinary under really tough conditions. I know he's not a fan favorite on the board, but he's my guy.

Only guy under par for the day and the tournament with a 6 stroke lead - hard not to give him credit for beating a course that was beating everyone else.

Agreed
All pro golfers have an edge - it comes from only having to blame themselves when losing - no teamates
Amazing how guys like Bryson get crap for having some faults in their personality but Tiger gets a pass when he acts like a complete

Bryson won going away but was only 26th in fairways hit....So I guess length does matter. Wonder if this will alter how other golfers approach things...will they try to maximize distance, even at the expense of accuracy?
