      I played the sane person tees and that bastard was like 620. Had a tap in, 2 inch (that close to a birdie!) par on it too! It was surprising, since I was so tired from walking that place by the 18th, combined with about 30 more swings than normal.

        Spieth and Day on the move. Especially Spieth. His shot on 13 was sweet, almost flushed it for an ace.

            Well, if it's 18, I doubt they'll stretch the closing hole that far.

            600 is just about the longest hole I've ever played. At least I don't recall anything much longer than that. There's a muni course around here that starts you off with a 570-590 yard par 5, and there was a couple others around that were north of 575. One of which closed its front 9 with a 585 yarder where you had to tee off over what was essentially a moat.

              And Jon Rahm just eagled it, holing out from 135.

                18 is their longest par 5, longest tees are 663 on the normal scorecard. Pretty sure the USGA has room to extend that. The other par 5s are around 600, and one is hole 1, probably can't stretch those to 700.

                  Certainly. But I don't think the USGA is going to end their national championship on a 700 yard hole. That's bordering on absurd.

                  Hi. 6 players under par at end of Saturday night.

                    663? Child's play!

                    Hit it wrong and your next shot is from Mexico.

                      I could see them stretching it out on Thursday or Friday, but Sunday it will probably be a bit shorter.

                          Unfortunately for him, putting is still part of the game.

                          I can't remember if it was for just a single round or the whole tournament but a few weeks ago his longest made put was 2 feet 6 inches.

                            And he might be taking a penalty stroke after the end of the round.

                              I am so confused by that deal... Is it or is it not a penalty? Why the delayed ruling?

                                Flying, so can't watch what's happening, but from what I'm reading, this sounds like a total clown show.
