I only bring that up because that threat is present in every major now if you want to take it to the edge.
It's harder to take it to the edge now because the edge is sharper than it's ever been.
because of the distance the ball is going.
And if you allow width, but you don't have enough severity on the green complexes, it's wedges, wedges, wedges, and birdie putts, birdie putts, birdie putts.
So then if you tighten it up too much and you put too much rough, I say too much in the sense that it just becomes so narrow that everybody's having to hit irons or just getting punished from the rough in a way that they can't recover, then you have kind of like Marion in 2013.
which I'm not saying it was terrible, but it was over the edge, I thought.
So that is a challenge that that's why I favor a rollback.
That would open up the parameters for the setup guys.
Let me interject.
Graduated Rough has been villainized.
I don't get why.
I think it's a very honest try to be equitable.
And I think it works in general.
Yeah.
Marco Miro was a
great player.
He won two majors, but he didn't have a great U S open, right?
He goes, it would just drive me nuts to, to cause it before they had intermediate rough, it would just be high rough right off the edge almost.
And, you know, I, I'd missed a fair by a yard.
I might as well miss it by 20 yards.
