Oak Hill Super Rebuts: Tiger Was Here On A Rest Day
/Oak Hill superintendent Jeff Corcoran says Tiger Woods--who was not exactly enthused by what he saw at Oak Hill--played the day the East Course was not mowing or rolling greens to reduce stress on surfaces that will get a full test next week for the PGA Championship.
"In regards to Tiger's latter comments, he hit it right on the head. We were trying to give the greens a rest before we head into a very stressful week," Corcoran said. "When he was here [Tuesday], we were playing defense. We didn't mow that day, didn't roll [the greens] that day. We've had an extremely tough summer.
"You don't tell a marathon runner to go out and run a marathon just before you run a marathon, especially when you know you've had a stressful summer. We'll have the green speeds up; they'll roll fine. The only area that will affect playability is the front right of the eighth green on the East Course."
