Weird Numbers

Here is the link to the USGA stat page. And some fun ones: Tiger Saturday: 339 yard drive on 11, 334 yards on 13, 348 yards on 14. 16 of 18 greens in regulation, 36 putts.
“Unbelievable hole locations. Unbelievable,” Tiger said. “You can’t take a run at any of these putts.”
And NBC had this one: Pinehurst has the most par-4’s over 460 yards in U.S. Open history. But remember, Walter Driver says it’s not long for a U.S. Open course, even though it's the longest in history! Finally, 4th place, Michael Campbell: 4 fairways Saturday, 71. Mark Hensby, 4th place, 11 of 42 fairways. As Johnny Miller said ad nauseum, the U.S. Open is all about precision!
