10 Notes to Know for PGA Championship and Top Players

The greens players will take aim at this week are among the smallest players will face all year. The greenside bunkers are treacherous, and potential cool and wet morning conditions throw an additional wrench into the equation. Also, the greens will play at famed “championship speed.” Other than that, no stress, fellas – have fun out there! – Justin Ray Golf

Pre-Tournament Press Conferences

Q. What have you noticed about some of the setup changes to the golf course for this week, especially some of those chipping areas like on 15?

RORY McILROY: Yeah, certainly more runoffs. I feel when we come to golf courses, it’s either one or the other. You get a course with a ton of runoffs and no other tests around the green, or you get to a course where there’s a ton of long rough around the green and no real runoffs, where I feel like this has got a nice balance of the two.

Q: You’ll face a pretty thorough test out there this week. What’s the biggest thing this golf course asks of a player?

RORY McILROY: Discipline, I think. You’ve got to keep it out of those fairway bunkers. They’re very, very penal. What Andrew Green has done with the green complexes and sort of spread them out and you see all these extra sections, back rights and back lefts, I think it’s going to be really — if someone can keep their discipline and not start firing at those pins and know that middles of the greens is a pretty good leave on most holes, I think that’s the — it’s a long golf course, and par and length is going to be an advantage.

But I think even more of an advantage is making sure that you’re hitting into these greens from the fairways. It’s a combination of everything, but I think discipline is going to be a huge factor this week.
