Its an old Robert Trent Jones course that interview he made weds he kinda dissed it as the short cute old course. He said sorry Mr jones it's just what it is today. I kinda hope it eats his lunch when it dries out for the weekend as no rain in sight.
Also in his after the round interview, he seemed disappointed with his caddy. Maybe with good reason he barked at him several times after flying greens. Even paced out front of green a couple of times like he didn't trust yardage he was being given.
He had a good round that had a chance at being brilliant. But secretly kinda hope Mr Jones old course takes a large bite outta his ass.

Hes feeling super confident the way hes been hitting the ball post covid shutdown. His interviews reflect it and boarder line cocky. How a guy can come on tour hitting 285 to 290 then a few years later bombing it 350 is amazing. He actually is a good putter, its a really interesting concept where he has a tall putter with a super long grip so he can have his arms straight the entire stroke. He seems to struggle with his wedge game and chipping perhaps due to all of his irons being the same length.
One of these days Im going to look into changing my swing into something similar to his. He based his swing on thr book The Golfing Machine. Physics, math and angles.
