Thoughts on the PGA Championship

Well, I suppose it's only fitting that the most boring golfer won today, because this tournament has been a snooze.  I don't want to blame the golf course entirely, because no course should be set up like that.  Thick rough does not make for exciting golf, it gets rather dull when you watch someone pitch out into the fairway again and again and again.  I watched most of the back nine today, and all Dufner and Furyk were doing was hitting fairway, green, then two putts.  That's why Dufner won, because he didn't do anything wrong.  He just played calm, cautious golf because that's all he needed to do.  If you played aggressively, any slight mistake meant a bogey.  So, no epic charges today, because the golf course just wasn't set up for it.  This was just as painful to watch as the U.S Open.  I don't care for watching golfers back up on Sunday, I want to see them take the title by playing the best, not by making the fewest mistakes.  So next time, tone down the rough a bit.
