Challenging U.S. Open
Sports are supposed to be difficult. After all, if accomplishments can be easily attained, they're not worth very much.
That being said, the USGA goes a little too far in making the U.S. Open course challenging. "If you shoot four days at even par or better, you're going to look awfully good," Woods told ESPN.com after shooting even-par on Thursday.
Nobody watches golf just to see Tiger shoot even-par. That's not interesting.
Consider this analogy: It would not be fun to see the pro bowling tour use a very tough lane condition, so that someone could win with a 180.
