You're like, well, what do you expect it to do when it lands?
And Thomas always hits this high, soft thing, and it takes one soft bounce, and that's why he used to lay up.
Even he drove it this year.
But I think it is a legitimate thing to wonder about as to what are you doing with a wedge in your hand?
Do you not have other shots that you can take something off it?
Because you do need to hit it with a little bit of cut spin, just the way the green is shaped.
The par fives, all three of them, even though they played the 17th, which is historically a long par five that was never reachable until recent years.
People literally knew the players who had reached it over the years.
Weisskopf, John Daly, Tom Lehman.
It was literally a one-page list until the juiced equipment era.
And now it's reachable, if there's any helping wind, for probably...
at least half the field of a normal genesis.
But so, yeah, watching so number one had had real meaning.
You had woods going into it.
The wind picked up yesterday.
Got a couple, I think one or two, maybe long irons in.
So that was fun.
That boomerang green had had real meaning in terms of I saw a lot of women, I thought, misplay it.
By the way, surprising how many women played a draw.
And because you just don't see a draw anymore with the men unless it's an intentional shot trying to get around a corner or something like that.
