I was dead.

Uh, so that was part of the challenge of the U S opening, why you had to be so straight.

Uh, it was more of a premium on driving accuracy in the past than there is now even.

Uh, so, uh,

it's still kind of a distortion, I think of the overall test.

That's all.

Yeah.

But I think, you know, 48 yards, that's the average, apparently, of the fairway width.

That's a lot.

So if you do hit in the rough, I think, fair enough, you should be punished.

And you've got to punish the modern player more than you used to punish the older player.

I mean, the previous player, because he's hitting a shorter club in.

And the rough has to mean something.

So I think as far as equitable, Shinnecock's going to be an equitable test.

Because they're so fast, yeah.

And you also got to pick shape.

You know, and that's, I think, it's really hard to work the ball with the modern driver and the modern golf ball, but...

You know, just to go back to a random, very quickly, I watched Rory, some of the right to left sloping fairways, he was still hitting a draw.

I was kind of shocked because he does have a fade in his back, obviously.

And, you know, he needed to fade it against the hill so he could keep it in the fairway.
