The rough at Erin Hills

Early in the week, upon first seeing the U.S.Open course set up, a number of pros expressed displeasure with the course setup. The biggest complaint concerned the tall fescue which was only a few yards off the fairways. On Tuesday, just two days before the tournament start, America’s golf governing body surprised everybody when they made the executive decision to cut back the fescue along four holes (4, 12, 14, 18) of the 7,741-yard track. This video shows you why the pros were unhappy with the initial setup.
