Scottie Scheffler Not Crazy About an East Lake Course that Creates Congestion on Leaderboard
Scottie Scheffler noted that on the par-3 ninth hole at East Lake, only two birdies and six bogeys were made by 87 players over three rounds.
Scheffler expressed frustration with the hole, questioning its purpose since most players tend to make par there and suggesting it might be unnecessary.
He explained that large green complexes with pins near edges create a delicate balance in play strategy, which tightens the leaderboard by causing player scores to be very close.
