  Sleeve to 1st HIO on it..... linked or on replays

  And another to the best executed  HIO ( imo) on any other hole....use the slopes or BS / TS ? :))

  Not a HIO here on #6, but looks like it should have been:

  Of course, from camera #3 it looks like the flag is sticking into the ground next to the hole. Maybe that's my problem.

  This was my first shot on the 1st hole at merion. Used my 75 yd club (full power) with no spin.

  Nice shot..some great contours / run downs around, especially on Champ greens.

  #5 or #6  is ripe for landing right and running in...but Don't be short ! Fairway is not always your friend. :-)

  Thanks bud, that was the dreaded .2 (.15 to be exact) 

  I had a good score of 7 feet after that 4th hole, but couldn't keep up that pace. The leader is still at 27 feet. I think i'm already tired of the ctth format though..lol Merion looks fun, can't wait for stroke play!

  Very generous, Andy.  And I agree the full course will be challenging and fun, with success relying much more on precision and course management than brute strength.
