Some of those greens are completely unfair. Watching some great approach shots barely trickle past hole high end up 30 feet off the green. Domed greens that are wind dried are like trying to stop a ball on an ice rink. If I recall correctly, the last time they played there in 2004 they had to water some greens in between groups they had gotten so bad on the weekend. Worse than Pinehirst #2 greens.

It is what it is. Sounds as if you need to go out on the links this weekend.

FS1 spent most of the afternoon following the one group. During the morning, we saw numerous groups and players. We did see Duffner a couple times during the afternoon. Hopefully, they will show more than the single group tomorrow morning. Of course, I'll be playing tomorrow morning so won't even begin watching until around noon.

I love the carnage! Hope it gets worse. Last man standing on Sunday wins! ;)
