[Alex Miller]

Bump,

and I'll ask:

Are the scorecards on ESPN correct with the hole numbering? 9 is a par 5... I think they may be using the original numbering instead of the US Open order.

[Ronald Montesano]

Old 1 is New 9

Old 2 is New 1, through Old 9 is new 8 (then see above)

Back nine is intact, as God and Doak planned.

[Howard Riefs]

Updates reflected in red above. 

Enjoyed this article in today's NY Times:

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/27/sports/golf/course-for-womens-open-adds-to-long-island-golf-history.html

It includes this playful exchange between Creamer and Doak:

On Tuesday, Doak joined Paula Creamer for 16 holes as she went on a practice round, watching for himself as Creamer, the 14th-ranked player, plotted her strategy for the week ahead. She did not anticipate asking him so many questions on the course, about slopes and pins and safe spots. Finally, on one of the greens, she blurted out her biggest question.

“I asked, ‘Why would you do that to us?’ ” Creamer said. “He just chuckled about it.”

[Garland Bayley]

Old 1 is New 9

Old 2 is New 1, through Old 9 is new 8 (then see above)

Back nine is intact, as God and Doak planned.

 

Why then does the USGA scoring list the 18th as a 332 yard par 4?

Big bird, you idiot. That's for players starting on 10.
