tiger: most difficult course I’ve ever played
Tiger said that, if the wind blows like it did today, Whistling Straits is the most difficult course he’s ever played. Wow. Tiger said the winds are cross-winds, so you can never quite tell how hard to hit it. Also, near the greens are bent grass, so you can’t really play bump and run like a true links course. But, if there’s no wind, Tiger said that the scores should be good.
The course is over 7,500 yards, the longest for a major championship. No. 11 is 619 yards. For the tournament, No. 15 and No. 18 will be over 500 yards each, as par 4s. Tiger said every hole has a double bogey lurking. Should be interesting.
