This is our Open Week.
This is also Oakmont Open Week.
The hole is longer.
The fairway is narrow.
Rougher and deeper.
The greens are very smooth.
Rory McIlroy is said to have failed to break the 80s in a recent class, and players have been putting down videos on social media to reveal their difficulties for them.
So the biggest question is: what will the average golfer be – what will the 18 obstacles shoot?
The DP World Tour social media team was involved, asked the question and got some good answers.
Bryson Devanmo It’s the first one. “Maybe…” he thought, “100”.
He then joined his newly discovered camera talent: “In the first nine.”
Justin Thomas Not so frustrated: “If they end,” he said cautiously: “It will be 110 to 120.”
from England Laurie Canter They were also skeptical of their completion of this round.
“It’s not that I want people to get entangled, right?” he said. “But I’m sure they won’t end, and I’m not trying to be harder and entangled people.
“But if they had to hit every golf ball and they went out with 12 goals, I don’t know there were 18 obstacles to finish the game.”
Justin Rose I thought they could get around, but added: “No balls? It’s better to bring dozens of balls!”
His phone number? “It must be 140.
“My father beat 18,” Tommy Fleetwood“And I won’t support him playing very well.”
Driver three poles.

Min Woo Lee Just explained the difficult factor: “The green is so smooth and sloped, I mean, we can hardly get out of it.”
His fellow citizens Jason Day His assessment was very cruel.
“150,” he said. “They just struggle. It’s hard there.
“Most of the rough 18 people with disabilities usually don’t have the biggest control in the Tee box.
“Then, they don’t know the angle of attack (in the rough case), so they just hit those shots and then the distance left, so they’ll be showing off in the whole way back and forth.
“Legal 18 obstacles? 150. I think that’s solid.”
Michael Kingwho is in the field, a star on X wrote: “The scratched golfer probably won’t break the 90 TBH.”
On X, an amateur golfer replied: “I’m 10.2! I’ll break 100.”
King said: “It’s like I’m a plus 5! I’m going to break Johnny Miller’s record of 63.”
So many debates, but Justin Thomas Have the best idea.
He wrote on X: “So much talk about ‘X obstacle shooting on X on Oakmont’…Why don’t we find a way to achieve it?
We’re with you JT.
