Amazing to see him show up...and then win.
I saw almost none of the golf, but did notice the greens were dead soft. Obviously the wind up is a welcome, but unpredictable, treat.
As to the question of the bombers destroying shorter courses...I've felt all along that the Tour wasn't as worried about that as they just really want their schtick to be how far these guys hit the ball. Nurturing the bomb and gouge playing style has ramifications all the way down the line.
