I believe the last time the US Open was held there the amateur from the golf digest "Can they Break 100" challenge was an 8 handicap and shot 114. I remember reading him saying that the 60 friends and family following him was as challenging as the course. The celebs playing were all lower handicaps than him and didn't have as much issue with the crowd.
"The damage report: Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo (whose handicap index is 2.2) shot a 13-over par 84; pop star Justin Timberlake (a 6.0) shot 98; Today Show host Matt Lauer (a 6.2) shot 100; and John Atkinson (an 8.1), who was chosen from a pool of 56,000 contest entrants nationwide, shot 114."
Romo could handle the course because he's a bomber and the length was no issue for him. But if the 6's are shooting 100 I don't have much faith in too many amateurs playing in the 80s.
