alosso: There will be a difference in -7s on STA and on OAK because one counts as 2x29=58 and the other as 2x28=56.
The degree of difficulty is what I'm referring to, not the score. You can shoot -7 at SA infinitely easier than you can at Oakmont. Using the USGA ratings this is how the 4 American courses compare with figures for Course Rating, Slope, F9/slope, B9/slope and Bogey Rating. This is where I would think -7 at Kia would get you a better drop than the same score at BPB if these numbers are factored in.
