The course designer likes to set up the course to play the exact opposite of what the players are use to. Par threes that take drivers to reach in the woods and par fours where the design is to play mid/putter or even putter/putter. To make it even worse, the possibility of a 550' eagle on a dogleg left or right actually plays into many players minds. Watch the commentary of hole 9 last year. Uli actually says any of these players have the skill to throw mid/mid to get the Birdie easily, yet the flight is so tempting. And the best part, Uli is the only player to Eagle the hole and in the same tournament double bogey it.

I love watching touring pros bounce off trees and get frustrated. They are coddled on these wide open courses they play most of the time.

Is there some sort of embargo on final round coverage...neither Jomez or Gateway has it up yet ..and the battle was between first card and second card...let's go gentlemen....maybe I'm spoiled by next day generally meaning dinner time or before...

I really don't want anyone to get frustrated, but some courses are not as straight forward as they look. McBeth played the course exactly the way it was designed to be played. He played half the Par fours with a mid off the tee. Never took a sucker route, never got an Eagle, but only took one bogey all weekend.

Probably were driving to Maple Hill today.
Actually, I guess jomez isn't going to Maple Hill but Gatekeeper is. Last edited by brutalbrutus; 08-26-2019 at 08:47 PM. |

Sorry. McBeth played last year and shot the course and tournament records. They played a slightly different layout this year but the course still plays with the same idea. Hard demanding par 3's, with most of the more technical holes being par 4's.

One of the MPO commentators mentioned that 3 of the changed holes went from the easiest to the hardest (relative to par). McEvil.

Some of the changes wouldn't have been such a big deal if they would have had time to practice more. The schedule over the past few weeks has taken its toll on some of the players. The European trip then Worlds really caught up to some of the players. Focus didn't seem as high or last as long.

This chart uses fairway hits to set the size of the bubbles; hole 17 is 67.3%. This chart includes all MPO players, not just those over 970.
