Thursday's play was comparable kids stuff the USGA will make the course more difficult each day.

One hole will shift from a par 4 to a par 5, etc. and another hole changes also but I forget the specifics. Also can lengthen the course substantially

It is going to be an interesting venue. I have my favorite and hopes he succeeds in his grand slam ambition.

Both the first and eighteenth will change from a par four to par five.

I think that Americans are a bit shocked by this because it looks so much like the classic British links courses which are also all fescue. My only problem with the condition is that it seems that the ball are wobbling around on the greens a lot.

Like I said, it appears that the USGA wants to make the US Open look more and more like the British Open every year. I'm wondering if that has anything to do with the fact that six out of the last eleven US Opens including the last three have been won by foreigners.
