Maybe some do, but we see that every week. We sometimes see it in the Masters, British Open and PGA Championship.

The US Open is supposed to be different. The stats this week were about the same as most of the regular week to week tour events. I think that our national championship should be a more difficult test.

If the people want to see these guys making birdies and eagles, let them play 6,200-yard courses with slow soft greens and no rough. Maybe it would be nice to watch that once a year, but I don't think a steady diet of it would keep anyone interested.
