I don’t and what’s more I think it makes a mockery of the tournament. A major should be hard but make it fair and make it so people that are hitting the correct shot are rewarded with the chance of a birdie. I’d rather watch someone on a charge on the back 9 of a major rather than someone winning just by making fewer bogies than everyone else.

Can't say it any better myself. It was awful to see players hitting a good shot only to end up having to scramble for a bogey. Phil Mickelson made a calculated decision to take a 2 stroke penalty by hitting a moving ball... well you can hate lefty all you want and maybe he should have been DQed, but the the fact that he was probably right... man that just tells you how brutally difficult the course is.
And it is too bad because Shinnecock is a FANTASTIC golf course. I would do a lot of horrible things to have the chance to play it, but I would not want to go play it tomorrow in i's current state.
