Is Doc leading the Open?
Ben Stephens:
Here is a great video by Sam Cooper (Golf Badgers) of Doc Hiseman's approach to the last hole at Hoylake with his trusty 5 wood!

Have any of you had experience playing Open or US Open/PGA courses with the stands up?

Yes, Hoylake in 2006 (Wednesday after) and Muirfield in 2013 (before the Open) and 2022 (before the Women's Open).

Doc birdied the last hole and said it will be playing 620 yards for the Open

I played Augusta in 1983 the day after Seve's win, and more recently played Memorial Park for the Renaissance Cup the two days after the Houston Open. It wasn't really a different feeling, apart from the hammering and demolition that was starting to occur.
In contrast, playing in the pro-am part of the Dunhill Links, with people outside the ropes, was quite intimidating for someone who is not used to that. Luckily I managed not to hit anyone!
