  Nearly slam-dunked the tee shot, only to see it come back to 51 feet.

  First putt was well short and came back to 49-feet, leaving this easy par putt:

  That was brutal. Anyone who finishes all 4 rounds deserves a prize.

  Jerm65:

  #13 is another killer.  I finally holed the 52 footer on my 7th attempt for an 8 as opposed to another mercy rule 10.  Putts that travel 105 feet but net out at 1 inch forward are a real pain in darse.

  Ditto for me (salvaged a quad on #2 only because nth pitch took pity on me and somehow stopped 2ft above left, but #13's endless net 0 or 1 inch putts got tiresome. I kept dinging the putt perfect distance and made minute adjustments to aim each time but shaved the hole high, low, high, low, etc. etc.). Was -8 on the rest of the holes with no bogeys despite half a dozen missed chances.

  Very impressed by the sub-par rounds on the board... and curious to know if anyone managed to do some secret homework on those troublesome holes!

  In the thick of the 2nd round - maxed out the 5th at Merion, which could be expected I guess. Now I've got a streak of 3 birdies going in the middle of the course ....

  Round 2 and another tale of 2 9's..41 on the front 9 with a nice 7 putt 9 on hole 6 and that 9 was courtesy of downing a 32 footer otherwise would have maxed out, but then something changed and got a  31 on the back 9 and 4 birdies...

  The Ultra speed 40 doesn't seem to react as much on flat lies (not that there are many on Merion) but happy with a 72 on that track and those conditions.

  I posted a 10 on 5th, otherwise, decent round. missed 4-5 putts inside 6ft due to being scared...

   

  I was -6 on oakmont, going to 16th and bogey bogey tripple, with 16/17th were very good birdie, just ran by :(

  Got out birdie,birdie and approach to 9 ft on 3.. But played for too much break and went down the bottom. Ended up with a triple after leaving it short couple of times more. I was dreading the par 3s quite a bit and proved to be the case. 13 also had a back and forth battle but made a 28ft for bogey. Did manage to play 5&6 only +2 but missed too many birdie chances

  - Lipped out for ace on #2, leaving a tap-in birdie that may have saved several stokes.

  - Pitched in for a 6 on #5, a few strokes after leaving my birdie pitch 2 inches short and seeing it come back off the green.

  - Pulled the tee shot on 13, hit the first putt too hard, then took 6 more putts to make a snowman. Three of the putts went past the hole on the right, and trickled pass the left edge on the way back down the hill.

  - 8 birdies along with a bogey and the two "others" resulted in an even-par 70. Better putting on 13 could have put me in the mid-60's.
