It's always going to be windy because it's perched.
It's more exposed than any other U.S.

I mean, when the sun beats down and the wind picks up, there's almost nothing you can do, and they're going to try this week to keep it playable because the last two have been, I wouldn't call it a disaster, but something close to it.
Pro Amoritis, even though he's probably not, he's definitely not the pro here, but I mean, yeah, this is kind of Jimmy's course.
Justin Thomas made a pretty interesting point.
I was talking to him about a week ago, and he said it's the only time in a practice round we ever try and get a foursome together just so that we know who we're playing with.

When I was starting out in 2014 and 15, I would have wanted to play with Tiger, Ernie Els, or whatever, so he gets it.
