I was just looking at the scoring spread between the first round last year and the first round this year to see if the combination of tighter OB and throw and distance has really affected the scores. Surprisingly, it hasn't much. Last year, there were only three scores the first round (59,59,60) that were better than the best score this year (61).

What I did find was that this year, the people that didn't play well, really didn't play well. Much more scores in the 100s this year (9 in the first round) compared to last year (only 3 for the whole tournament).

Just thought I'd share my findings.
