Message: [QUOTE="MattMang23, post: 2759287, member: 1608"] The problem is after their confidence is destroyed at the US Open, a lot of guys like coming here for the birdiefest. If you take that away from them I think you'd see the field lose quality. This is true. Round 1 leader last year was Spieth. Shot -7. Finished the tourney at -12 and won. In 2016, Jerry Kelly and Vaughn Taylor shared the R1 lead at -6. Kelly finished at -13. Taylor finished at -5. Russell Knox won at -14. In 2015, Bubba led after R1 with -8. Finished at -16. It gets tougher. [/QUOTE]
