I think the greens are a good thing, granted they are a bit too fast but some people have been at Augusta for over a week now since missing the Bellsouth Classic, they must have had some experience on those greens before yesterday.

I'd rather see a winning score of -1 than -21, the courses seem to get ripped apart on the US Tour with the technology and if putting super-fast greens adds another test to the course, so be it. These guys can earn like $1,000,000 for a weeks work, I think we're entitled to think they can putt on greens faster than the normal, these are the elite players on the tour at the moment.

Puttings just another part of the game, the TPC at Sawgrass had rough hadn't been cut for a week I heard? That's just adding more difficulty to the course, intended or not.

This weeks looks like a premium on hitting your ball close to the hole, which could lead to people laying up on the Par 5 (Knowing Tiger, he'll just go at the pin with a 3 Iron from 250 ) It's the same conditions for all, it's just a matter of who can deal with them the best.
