Are the players using the regular driving range at Oak Hill this week? Or are they using one of the holes on the other course as a temporary practice range?

Matt Albanese

Are the players using the regular driving range at Oak Hill this week? Or are they using one of the holes on the other course as a temporary practice range?

Brian,

The regular driving range is the site of the merchandise tent and press village. The players are hitting from a tee left of 9 West in the low spot by the practice chipping green to targets across 9 and down 7 West, from the high point of 9 West fairway, and both 1 and 10 tee on the West.

Thanks, Matt.  That's what I thought.  It just didn't look like your everyday type of driving range.
