Chris Gotterup shot a 65 this morning and is at 3 under for the PGA Championship. I thought he had a very interesting response when asked about Aronimink’s setup.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udcac \u201cI don’t think it’s unfair, but I do think for pace of play and certain aspects, there have been a couple \u2014 you know, 14 today is probably aggressive, I will say. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou’re hitting a 4-iron to a 10-foot circle, and if it doesn’t go there, it’s off the green, and if you hit it 40 feet left, you have a very hard 2-putt.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, you know, Bob (MacIntyre) made birdie in my group and he hit a great shot. So is it unfair, probably not. But is it going to make the round slow, yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gotterup said the practice rounds were fool’s gold \u2014 the wind was down all three days and the pins were all in the middle of those greens. <\/p>\n
Since the tournament started we’ve seen pin positions tucked into every corner and ridge of these green complexes, exponentially increasing the difficulty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chris Gotterup shot a 65 this morning and is at 3 under for the PGA Championship.
