Should the PGA adopt U.S. Open conditions for regular tour events?

Halfway through the U.S. Open — which is run by the USGA — I started wondering, Why doesn’t the PGA make more of its regular tour events like the U.S. Open, with really penalizing rough and tough pin positions on beguiling greens and where even par or worse usually wins the tournament ? I mean, I really loved watching the drama when the pros were turned into complete hacks just like the rest of us.

By tournament’s end, however, I got tired watching all the bad play. Hey, if I want to watch bad play and bogeys and double bogeys, I can watch the buddies in my foursome and myself. It ain’t pretty, let me tell you. The U.S. Open wasn’t pretty, either. I love watching it, especially when the pros suffer meltdowns like pretty boy Mickelson did. But I would not want to watch more than one or two U.S. Open style tournaments a year. How about you?
