Mickelson Criticize The Course Is Difficult To Play On

Not everyone likes the Atlanta Athletic Club in the last U.S. PGA Championship after the conversion. 2001 - David Toms after a runner-up, Mickelson said a lot of fun before the stadium is a great stadium, but the alterations, this fun has been lost, especially for ordinary people.

"Now, the golf course long and difficult." Mickelson in the first round after the surrender of 71, said, "That is the truth." To which the next U.S. PGA Championship, Rees - Jones (Rees Jones) in 2006  renovated course, now it's 7,467 yards in length, is the longest in major championship history on 70 pitches. Mickelson for the golf course layout, to play, as well as it brought the world's best players did not complain to the challenge. He considered the problem is that once the tournament ends, the members how to deal with this new distance.

Mickelson did not stop on this issue. He said the four par-three - three of which more than 200 yards, three water hazards come into play - is the best evidence that golf course designers have been so ordinary people can not play the playing field. "That person who converted the stadium," Mickelson said, shaking his head, "This is good for the entire tournament, but its members are not so good."

- David Toms, and 10 years ago, the same group with Mickelson. He said the stadium when he won, compared with completely different. "Long distance a lot of different greens, and many fairway bunkers, tee off, when many of the fairways is very difficult, the last time we played here when the game is not the case." - David Toms said after the surrender of 72 "The harder the golf course, a lot of difficulty."

Mickelson totally agree - David Toms argument. 2001, where he played under par 14, all four are 60s. This time, he was an 10th hole birdie hole for bogey. "I'm behind the team from the outset the two." Mickelson said. After that, Mickelson's score under par has no immediate concern.

Mickelson Atlanta Athletic Club for those short holes no problem, he shot a four par. He's complaining about is how to cope with ordinary players so far in the distance over the water, as well as punitive bunker behind the green. "This is a contemporary designer kill a good example of participatory golf." Mickelson said.
