Surprisingly looks as good as three years ago but will his leg carry him through 72 holes in cool windy conditions?

It's a 6 mile walk over approximately 3 hours, while carrying no weight, with approximately 80-90 chances to rest. I wouldn't think he would attempt it if he wasn't confident he could do it.

Don't forget the insane hills. He will get worn down I am sure.

Agree, until you’ve seen it in person, TV does no justice to how hilly it is.

Having said that though, as Tiger said again yesterday, he wouldn’t be playing if he didn’t think he could win it.
He has to say that it's part of it to him.

I don’t think he wins it or comes close. But doubting tiger is kinda similar to doubting Brady.

I kind of doubt he finishes. But I’m glad he’s giving it a shot.

I bet he does finish, but maybe to the detriment of his own health. Remember, he played the 2008 US Open on a torn ACL and two stress fractures.

Come on, insane hills? Are any of you people golfers? I guess I've played Waveland in Des Moines more than any other course, and Augusta has lots of undulation, but not sure I'd say INSANE hills!

The city courses in Sioux City are the place for local snowboarders 5 months a year.

I’m sure Augusta is a hilly course by elite standards, just the course I grew up on outside my best friend’s backyard was basically alpine sports worthy.

What’s with the fascination calling this place insanely hilly. I understand it has its up and downs and odd angles and lots of walking but it’s a golf course for ***** sake. He’s not climbing a mountain. The walk and hilly course won’t be what does him if, if so, it will be he hasn’t played in well over a year.

Think the elevation ranges from about 160 to 300ish
