…and not just for playing Scratch irons and wedges either (which is seriously, SERIOUSLY awesome).
Let’s delve into some juicy quotes, shall we? First, as always…link.
“I feel like instead of difficulty, they just go for trickiness, to be honest,” he said.
Moore was particularly critical of the par-five 14th hole and its fast, slopey, raised green. It’s where, in the second round, Zach Johnson made a nine, and Paul Casey, Ian Poulter and Y.E. Yang each carded an eight after chipping adventures.
“It would take not much to make that green at least halfway reasonable, and they refuse to do it,” Moore said of USGA officials. “I think they go for a spectacle; they want some hole to draw attention and make everybody look stupid, I guess. It doesn’t reward good golf shots like Augusta (National) does, and I don’t understand why you’d have a tournament that doesn’t reward good golf shots.”
More quotage after the jump.
