  ReisR:

  Kepone18:

  The last US Open at Pebble was held in 2010 and the 2nd played as a par 5, not 4. Dustin Johnson double bogeyed the 2nd in the final round.

  I know you are trying to be helpful, but Yahoo Sports is not a very reliable source for golf info.

  So, let me clearify: - It is not true that hole 2 at Pebble Beach played as a par 5 during the US Open in 2010.

  As you can see from the TV screen captures for rounds 2 and 4, the second hole played as a par 4, and the par of the course was 71.

  

   

  Well spotted ReisR and damn you Yahoo sport!!!

  Last years U.S. Open at Chambers Bay, the 18th played as both a par4 and par5 alternately through the tournament. Original plan was a par5 on Thurs and Sat and par4 on Fri and Sunday. After many complaints from players, they kept it as a par5 on Sunday.

  Would be nice if we could have some more European courses on here, but maybe the European Tour and the R & A are wanting too much money to let WGT use their courses. Still we can always hope.
