Yeah, you could hear it in the gallery everywhere it goes.

And, yeah, it's only the one major at Marion back in 13.

I tend to look at guys who have chances.

And, you know, Rose twice lost in a playoff at Augusta to Sergio under Rory.

He was second at Troon.

I mean, he's given himself a lot of chances.

So I think the fact that he's been there with a chance probably beefs up the reputation and likability of him.

I think the bunkering, even though I think when you think bunkers at the British, Litham comes to mind probably quickly.

But Birkdale, and I'll give you a good example, Tony, on the 10th hole,

beautiful little dogleg left around the turn, and it's got these two bunkers.

And if you choose to take on these bunkers and you fly it too far, it's going to roll into a bunker on the right side.

In any case, you're not getting to the green from there.

So bunkers are really, really well located, and it basically gives guys an option.

Do you want to lay well back and give yourself a mid-iron into the green, or do you want to take them on and turn it into a birdie hole?

And they face that

pretty much the entire course except for the par threes.

Now, that would be worth noting, too, by the way, that there's a brand-new hole this year.

And it's disappointing, too, because when you think about Burtdale, most recently you think about Spieth.

And you think about, you know, the unplayable he took right at the 13th and taking a drop on the driving range.

Well, that driving range is now a spectator village.
