Golf Scores

Why British Open scores higher on average than other major golf?

For example, the finalists were the two pilots -2. The courses are harder and the wind, the most important factor because there are no trees between the links.

On one side you have time (especially wind) a key factor that strongly influenced the last two Opens. The U.S. Open have a higher score, but all the rain keeps relatively low scores. If Bethpage had played "fast and firm," you have not seen the results you've done … the level could easily won, and maybe 2.4. Note Torrey Pines in 2008 was created very favorable, and yet … see the winning score. While the current links generally have no trees are tall fescue can be brutal to advance the ball out, with streets hard as a rock (usually not water the streets in the Open Championship). PGA Championship last year … scores were very high. This year at Hazeltine … depends on the configuration, but in 2010 at Whistling Straits … the wind could be a very important factor.
