Word is the rough has grown to about 3-4 inches, about what it was last time at Pinehurst. Maybe more sparse. But the big issue, of course, is the weather. Hardly any rain expected til Sunday. Temps in the 90s the next couple days. Only a 20-30% chance of rain Thursday. And Phil Mickelson just said with no rain, we could be looking at 18 holes that played like #7 Shinne**** last year. The greens could be like lightning, and missing the fairway will mean you'll need a **** miracle to try and hold these greens. Get ready guys. It looks like we're going to see some wild (and for those who like it, fun) golf.

And also, if these conditions occur, who does that favor. Who does that hurt. You got to belive it helps a guy like Goosen, who's won in these conditions twice in 4 years. Mickelson, who played good on the fast greens at Shinne**** and Pinehurst and has the short game to compensate for his mistakes. I think it helps the great putters, like Furyk, Verplank and DiMarco, who can make those 5-10 foot par putts. Guys it might hurt could be Singh, who has a tendency to miss a lot of fairways and greens. Same with Ernie. I also think it hurts David Toms, who likes to stick shots. He's not a guy who you see play well on fast greens. I'm intersted in hearing your guys comments.
