The players are bitching about the greens and all the low scores are from the early groups. I hate when the course doesn't play the same for everyone. They should start teeing off the front and back at the same time so everybody plays the course in the same conditions.

Yet one guy is 5 under through 6 holes right now. Seems pretty fair to me.

I think you have to look at more than one player to see whether the greens are playing tougher.

You gotta love Ian Poulter tweet...

"Unfortunately the guys this afternoon will struggle with a few pin positions. 8th hole is a joke, 18th needs a windmill & clown face."

Come on you know the course is playing way more difficult for the afternoon guys because the greens are stiffening up. One guy playing out of his skull doesn't make this untrue.

I know I know. The thing that makes golf so much fun to watch when it is across the pond is the fact that the conditions are so variable. They all know it going in. I don't know why they ***** every single year about it. You have to play in various conditions for 4 days. I think it is a true test of skills.

I like the Open but I'm glad it's only once a year. I enjoy watching it but more than one tournament a year would take away from its uniqueness. I think golf needs to do something with the PGA Championship to give it more of its own identity. The Masters, US Open and The Open are all different in their own way but the PGA Championship doesn't have that.

well, they do rotate tee times around tomorrow. Morn tee times today = afternoon tee time tomorrow and vice versa. the conditions probably won't be the same both days exactly but fairly close.

That's golf. You have numerous majors where some golfers play in morning with no rain and afternoon rain. And vice versa. Just the way it falls. As for pin positions, everybody has to play the same hole. Shut the 17 up and quit bitching. It is always the same whiners: Phil, Poulter, etc.

Usually Phil doesn't ***** so I was surprised by that but he did just 3 jack the 18 so they caught him when he was hot

They'll be switched tomorrow, and the wind is less than 10 both days. I don't see where the conditions are too ridiculous especially for an Open.
