Shinnecock next year has also consistently delivered the carnage. In my opinion in a more pleasing way which is wind and short grass everywhere with mega run offs everywhere.

They are a great back to back test that highlight that there are different ways to test the best in the world

Would also be fun to see Oakmont baked out next time, with considerably shorter rough and let the greens be the primary defense. It’s fully capable of it. Weather the last month kind of forced them into what we got unfortunately.

Definitely true on allowing the greens to bake out … you ideally don't like seeing US Open courses completely being able to hit, stick, and spin massively like they were
That said, I think penalizing rough is part of the deal with Oakmont … it's a standard feature of a lot of old school parkland courses

Retief Goosen with one of the all time putting exhibitions to win at baked out Shinnecock over Phil was a good one

Thanks, Grok.
