“No guarantee” that the bread of bread will cough each golf ball swallow

Oakmont, Ta. – The US Open is synonymous with a high, thick rough. Especially in the oakmont, where a juicy mixture of Kentucky Bluegrass, rye and Poa Annu will be maintained about 5 inches and changes, constantly maricirs so that it remains upright and retains gutch balls.

He feels worse.

“Try 9 inches,” one competitor said, only half jokes.

Jackson Koivun, Junior Auburn Junior who was ashaped on Wednesday no. 1 In the world amateur golf on Wednesday, he has already lost the ball to Grubim, in 10. Hole Monday. He is not the only one – Bryson DECHAMBEAU and Preston Summerhays, there were drives who have disappeared.

“This is the worst rough I saw,” Kaddy Koivuna said, Chris Williams, former world no. 1 amateur in your right and now an assistant.

Roughly progresses, in part, due to a record of the rain in the rain in Allegheny County. Slightly larger terms after the recent renewal of GIL HANSE, they also won the USGU to be more aggressive with setting, which includes the elimination of graduating to see the competitors at the EXAMPY in OAKMONT, nine years ago. When you spot mowers – a few dozen them, in synchronization – running in the building, there is no longer cutting, but what can be better described as slippers.

“We simply felt we needed us roughly to have,” John Bodenhamer said, Chief Championship Director in the USG. “We think it’s suitable for driving hallways and we look forward to being unfolded.”

Of course, with this awful rough brings greater responsibility for spots. Perhaps the most pronounced heroes of the week will be four to six qualified eyepets on each hole. It is next to dozens or so marshals per hole.

“This is like watching Ketchup, get out of the bottle Heinz, anticipation,” said one marshal as he waited for Tee snapshots on par-4 17. Hole during the holes on Wednesday.

Added another one, as she arrived by his shift: “I’m ready. I have sunglasses.”

They will be reinforced as well as dedicated spotters, not arranged for days of practice and 330 total, are hit on Thursday morning with the only location of locating locations and mark them.

“I’m glad we have places up,” Rory McIlroy said, who was playing Oakmont two months ago, when there was absolutely no help in search of the balls that missed short grass. “… You hit the ball with a relationship and you were looking for a good few minutes just to find him.”

Added Ben An: “18-handicaps will not complete a circle without volunteers.”

Try 13 handicaps. One such player who played Oakmont last month said he lost four balls in a hole and a half.

“And then I just entered,” said a man who works like a spotter at 18. Hole Friday and Saturday.

One Septer Final Holes For Sundays already begged to not have a factor in the outcome: “Imagine if the leader misses one right and we can’t find him …”

Tiger Woods may have 16 main titles if not for his lost drive on the first hole of the 2003 open championship. In Royal St. George. Woods and Army Marshala spent 5 minutes looking for his Nike ‘1’ golf balls that day, but without any. Woods had to go back to Tee and finally ended two shots behind the winner of Ben Curtis.

Bodenhamer did certain that the USGG student will ensure that each ball is found this week.

“We have a lot of spotter,” Bodenhamer said, “but there is no guarantee that we will not lose a golf ball or two. But we will do whatever we can do. But we feel good about it.”

Now, finding a ball and playing are different stories. Most balls deep into the rough color will need a hassage with a lobline, and some of these shots that require players take their swings while they are hardly able to see the ball. Sometimes guys will get lucky, but it won’t be often.

Oakmont’s famous SWAT games usually produce Breakeven Best-Ball’s Point of 69 to 70. There were at least seven shots for more recent months, because the club prepared for this American open.

“I think people don’t understand how much fat it is,” Collin Morikawa said. “It’s not as if the club will pass. … You have to be steep to get to the ball to the ball, and when you’re steep, he separates his face, so you just hit him deeper into the ground. It’s very very difficult.”

Added McIlroy: “A person with the most patience and the best paragraph this week is the one who will win.”

Being the happiest won’t hurt.
