Any reason to believe they might use the cool little tee for the tenth off to the side of the ninth green?


The video didn't really allude to it or mention it.


Seems like a cool hole but there might be some traffic issues given its close proximity to the previous green.


Google Earth has it at something like 330y from that tee to the front edge of the green and I wouldn't mind seeing them take runs at green from there.

Those yardages are obscene. I played #9 and #10 into a 25 mph headwind and couldn't reach the green, and I was probably 60-70 yards up from these tees.

350 yard drives, 150 yard wedges-then climax it all by putting on dead greens running 14.
Maybe someday they can go back to protecting the game(and grass) rather than par(or protect it via returning scale)

Friend involved with course prep was there this week and said the greens were as good as he’s ever seen them.
Decades of AT&T plus US Opens in his time, that’s a pretty good comment

That's good to hear about Pebble.
The greens looked fantastic at Shinny the week before in '18 and in '04.
But then we had an outbreak of perfect weather.
