Thank you again WGT, The Us Open vs Virtual Us Open

  I want to thank WGT for the awesome Merion course.

  After following the first two days of the Open at Merion I can see how awesome course WGT gave us. 

  Tough course, so tough that only a few players are under part at this very moment. 

  Great to see the pros trying the same fairways, rough, bunkers, hazards and greens as we got here at WGT.

  For the ones that likes the Uneven Lies, the course is simply as tough as the real one in single play mode. Elevations, odious lies, etc, makes the course a pretty similar copy of what the pros are going through.

  Regards, Eric

  Totally agree, Eric. Knowing the course the way we get to learn it here is really making the watching fun. Hard not to watch and think about how the shots go here. No pins or baskets hit yet.  LOL.

  agreed 

  after watching the us open in real life , we can see how an amazing job wgt have done with merion.

  i can also understand why the rough is so hard to play out of now and how important it is to hit fairways.

  great job

  :)

  For one thing, the pros can't restart if they don't make birdies on the first few holes.

  Agree with what Eric feeling.

  See the complete coverage, watch and rewatch hole 9 and 10 and damn, I thought to see the meterbar struggling at Donald's tee off hole number 2. No metter if we got good player here that can score a -13, feeling good with that I can use everyday, restarting for do better.

  think you will find that Westwood hit a basket yesterday and it bounced 60 feet away

  Great job indeed, if we can wish for anything else it'd be other pin locations (as they use different ones in the US Open)
  
  it seems we only have 1 set of pin locations for Merion :/, nice course though!
