Seperating The Finishers at The Recent Majors

[Ian Andrew]

Here they are, the last 10 US Open courses, the last 10 British Open courses, the last 10 PGA courses and the 18th at Augusta National. There’s been so much criticism of the 18th at Augusta on another thread that I thought this might be an interesting way to test where it really sits.

There were two courses played twice for PGA and The Open ...

1. Special
2. Good
3. Don't Move the Needle for Me
