Its always been that way:

1934 - 430 yards - MacKenzie positioned the green in a natural saddle to the right of a dome, on which he dug an ornamental bunker.  The hole dropped more than 100 feet, and some players could drive the green.  All rainwater drained into the saddle, resulting in Horton Smith having to chip through standing water on the green when he won in 1936.
