I waited for ZONA to post the thread as he likes to do but he is too busy worrying about gun control. Anyways I am not a fan of the no rough/burnout course setup. It looks too much like the Brittish Open. Kaymer is making it a sleeper though which is good because I won't feel so bad about missing the final round Sunday out at the lake.

I don't mind the rough set up. I think it gives the field a better chance at being able to get shots to those rugged greens. But I wouldn't have cared if they kept it like it was either. This course is ALL ABOUT THE GREENS. Each green you realistically have only 1/3 of the green that will hold shots, the rest of it, will push your ball off the greens. So many times we say putting is what wins in the end. Well here, I think it's the approach shots that will win this tourney.

For me it is who takes advantage of their good iron shots. So many guys are hitting it close but not making the putt for birdie and end up 3 putting. Kaymer clearly is the guy who is striking it the best and making all his putts. He shoots a couple 72 or better the next 2 days he is the winner.

I'm so glad next year they are going to Chambers Bay. I love all the courses they have in the rotation but I think they go to them a bit too often when there are some great new awesome courses that deserve to host, such as Chambers Bay and Sand Hills as well as some classics that haven't played in quite a while, like Seminole, Sebonack, Dallas National and Olympia Fields.

Originally posted by ZONA View PostNo doubt Kaymer will come back to the field over the next 2 days. He's not going to shoot 4 65's, not even 3 65's. He'll most likely be 1 or 2 under par each day, which is enough if nobody else that's close now has a big day. If Phil can get to -1 under today, he's capable of putting up a big number. But Kaymer has a monster lead right now, all he has to do is just sail straight and not get careless.
