Viktor Hovland -- “ I love this golf course and I think it’s a really good test. It’s one of those courses, especially with all the ball rollback stuff I think this is a golf course that will, that has stood the test of time and I think it will continue to, just because of the trees, there’s some water around there, very narrow fairways, thick rough, small greens. I think it’s a great golf course.”
“It’s a very narrow golf course off the tee. You have trees on both sides, so it really favors accuracy off the tee. If the wind starts blowing and they tuck the pins on each side, and the greens get very firm, it’s very difficult to get close to the pins. So middle of the green is often very good, and, yeah, it’s just really is a ball-strikers course, but if you short side yourself and you end up missing the green, which everyone is bound to do, you have to rely on some intricate short game shots around the green as well.
