There was a lot to like about the event

Campus was in beautiful shape (except for the Grotto), the logistics of parking, walking to the gate, viewing the play, getting around the course and patronizing the merchandise tent were all on par with most other PGA/USGA venues I've visited. There were some things to complain about, but not many. The crowds seemed fairly knowledgeable and respectful of the players. The course set-up was challenging, more so later in the week when the pin placements got tougher. The greens themselves have a lot of different features and don't afford too many straight, flat putts. The players handled them well though. They are in fact really good at what they do.
