This was actually interesting argument. The point he made here is that the approach shot narrows the field, but basically all the guys in contention are dialed with their 2nd shots so then it becomes a putting contest between the handful of guys contending.

I made the comment, that basically every tournament turns out like that…

The thing about ANGC is the fairways are not flat. It doesnt look like it on TV though. Even with a good drive a player is likely hitting a ball slightly above or below his feet.

Any golfer will tell you that makes it much harder.

There are some scoring holes at Augusta. But players have to be incredibly precise to even get in position.

Augusta like most majors hinges a lot on hitting fairways and greens. If you get into the bad stuff shite can go sideways really fast. Play straight and you have a chance.
