This tournament may turn out to be exciting and great golf, but it will certainly not be due to the joke of a course they're playing. What's next, replacing the putting surfaces with astroturf so they can get them rolling faster? Who ever said Augusta didn't resort to tricking the course up?

Toms' ball was sitting right on the edge of serious slope that ran off the front of the green. As fast as the greens are at Augusta (every year) it only took a bit of wind, and it was blowing yesterday, and a bit of bad luck to roll him off the green. Unlucky? Yes. Tricked-up? Nope.
It's not like Shinnecock last year. There is no 'US Open Style' rough and the greens are actually green, not brown.
