It was a brutal course, only 9 players were under par. No gimmes anywhere, especially the greens. That said Bryson got into trouble multiple times in the rough but managed to dig his way out.
The US Open is the only true test of professional golfers.
Augusta has an almost, holy like aura. It’s really hard to lose a golf ball there. Guys swing as hard as they can. Hardly any rough.
Greens are a bitch. I’ve been there. But that doesn’t have a lot of bad areas unless you hit it really bad
Wasn’t the US Open at Bethpage Black where the winner was over Par?
