Why...
... well, just because we like to torture you, of course!
Actually, if I remember right, that hole does offer a way to reach the fairway further right and shorter even if you're into the wind, or a possible way to bounce off the bank of rough.
We do recognize every player will get some tough breaks with wind and pin placements throughout the tourney, but figure it will all even out in the end, and whose who prevail will ride the rough with the smooth.
I am envisioning a future tourney concept that's a better-ball pairs Tough-It-Out from the Tips (and that will be really hard!!!), so if you're moved to complain now, just wait! You'll love that tourney. One possible way to frame the challenge is whether the pair can get round in 600 shots or less (i.e. +35 over the 8 full free courses).
----------------------
I think several pairs are scheduled to go out today (in fact, it looks as if Dazza and Mati are out on the course right now).
Here's a Leaderboard so far.
