There will probably be inner out of bounds for this week’s Tour Championship in spite of everything.
The PGA Tour introduced Wednesday morning that there will probably be two cases of inner OB on the newly redesigned East Lake Golf Membership: No. 10 fairway will probably be out of bounds when taking part in the par-5 18th gap, and No. 7 fairway will probably be out of bounds whereas taking part in the par-4 sixth gap.
The choice comes after GolfChannel.com reported that the Tour had mentioned such setup measures earlier than figuring out they’d be too penal. That thought course of clearly has since modified.
On Tuesday, Scheffler talked concerning the potential alternate route off the tee at No. 18, which was made extra inviting after the elimination of a number of bushes and the reshaping of the golf green reduce on either side of the outlet’s huge lake.
“The way in which they reshaped the golf green there, the golf green crowns like this and it’s a really troublesome fairway to hit, and in case your ball goes into the fitting tough and also you don’t get a superb lie, it’s a must to chip it 10 yards down the golf green as a result of there’s nowhere actually to put up,” Scheffler stated. “Earlier than there was some alternative there, the place now there’s not. You’re now hitting it throughout the lake. When you hit it into the fitting tough, you’re now hitting it over a pond to a fairway that’s fairly slim. When you hit it within the left tough you most likely can’t maintain the inexperienced from there, and for those who don’t get it to the golf green, you’re going to be within the water.
“It looks like a safer play to take all that out of play, hit it down 10. The inexperienced goes to be fairly terribly exhausting to carry anyhow with it being a downslope and having an extended membership in there. It’s extra you’re taking part in for birdies. There may be much less alternative I feel for eagle than there was earlier than.”
