I'm in shock. I've been trying to comply with the play at the DLF Golf and Country Club (the path for the ET's Hero Indian Open in New Delhi) and the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook (where the PGA Tour is playing the Valspar Championship).
And it's clean that the DLF is the route with the chunk!
For example, I consider this is the 550-yard par-4 14th at DLF. This hollow performed to 4.91 strokes at some point of the first round! According to the ET's website, this is the toughest hollow on the tour so far this season.
So a ways, there are most effective 18 gamers beneath par. ONLY 18! And there are 15 gamers who're double-digits OVER par! The worst rating is 17... AFTER ONLY ONE ROUND.
Compare that to the Copperhead route. There are fifty five players below par, with simplest a handful (six) but to complete the first spherical. And the worst rating is an insignificant 6.
I just don't know what to think. Granted, this doesn't compare to the legendary "Massacre at Winged Foot," aka the 1974 US Open. Hale Irwin won that one with a +7 score. But when I heard that the DLF is a new course this year and that it would be difficult, I NEVER expected it to be this hard. Especially not when compared to the Copperhead.
The Hero Indian Open bears watching this weekend. A new legend can be in the works!
