“But everyone is playing the same course even with it’s changes over the course of a day. “

How can you say it is the same course when it changes through the course of the day to conditions that made it unplayable for the guys teeing off later.

Even the USGA official stated similar.

"How can you say it is the same course when it changes through the course of the day to conditions that made it unplayable for the guys teeing off later."

There's a term in golf that applies. It's called "Rub of the green." It is impossible for a golf course to remain in identical condition all day long, what with grass growth, spike marks, and yes, weather changes. Sometimes you get great conditions, other times you have to play in the worst conditions. This morning and this afternoon were perfect examples of that.

As the great Peter Aliss says: "Bad luck has to start somewhere."

Just as stated. The players who benefited from playing earlier one day will be playing later the next.

I may be wrong, but the course is never "unplayable". There definitely could have been better choices made with some of the pin placement, tho. 'Specially on that hole where when they got above the pin they couldn't hit it soft enough to not run several feet by.
But again, everyone suffered that green according to their shot placement. d:^)
