Olympia Fields, 2015 US Amateur and LENGTH?

[JR Potts]

Any truth to the rumors that in order for Olympia Fields to get awarded the 2015 US Amateur that the USGA is requiring them to add 300+ yards to the North golf course - including a 10th tee near the parking lot?

I thought you Olympia Fields people would know.

Thanks - I will hang up and wait for an answer.

Well that would be very cool if the USGA ends up awarding the Am at OFCC. I can't understand why the USGA would insist on adding 300 yards to the North Course in anticipation of an event that is primarily match play? Why would it matter?
