I walked part of the course in '97 during a practice round and was amazed how up and down it was, in addition to its length. The elevation changes don't show up that well on TV, but when you get off line on approach shots to some of those greens, you're dealing with partial blind shots onto a slick undulated putting surface (at best). While I would love to play it, even from the member tees it would be a struggle to break 100 for a single handicapper. 

A guess as good as any would be Jordan Spieth to win again, but I never count out crazy Phil or Tiger on this course. Putting and touch around the green is what wins here like few others.
