"BAY HILL'S BRUTISH BUNKERS"
/The SI/golf.com gang was joined by Davis Love and they talk about whether the buried lies at Bay Hill are intentional. Remember, the PGA Tour rules staff has a reduced role in how two tournaments a year are prepared: Bay Hill and the Memorial.
Herre: I was surprised to see so many balls plugging in the bunkers. I suppose that was by design. Anyone know if that was new, softer sand in the bunkers? It was an almost automatic bogey every time someone flew a ball either high or into the upslope.
Bamberger: Or the downslope! Arnold wants his course hard. He feels bunkers have been emasculated. He masculated them.
Love: Soft sand has to be a strategy there, that's the only knock on the course the last few years.
