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.
