Tiger Woods says he has already 'putted off many greens' in practice at the US Open, while defending champion Wyndham Clark says their pace is 'borderline'.
The US Open prides itself on being 'golf's toughest test' and Tiger Woods is expecting another "war of attrition" this week at Pinehurst.
"It depends how severe the USGA wants to make this," added Woods. "But I foresee, just like in 2005, watching some of the guys play ping-pong back and forth . It could happen." Woods was absent with a back injury when Germany's Michael Kaymer romped to an eight-shot victory in 2014 on a course that had undergone huge renovations.
The course, designed by legendary architect Donald Ross, who grew up playing and working on the fabled links of Dornoch in northern Scotland in the 19th Century, was opened for play in 1907. Speaking on Tuesday, the 2011 champion from Northern Ireland said he had "36 hours" to "figure out what I'm comfortable with around the greens".
