Congrats to Zach! I'm impressed by his resolve and determination.

I think some of both. It was firm and fast for sure, and with the cold, swirling winds it had to be hard to stay focused, but good shots were holding on the greens and the pin positions weren't terrible. I was there Saturday, and about the time Tiger hit his tee shot on 17 it started getting really windy and cold. The 17th green/18th tee was so windy and cold there were no more than 50-75 patrons watching the post-Appelby groups with us. I didn't see a lot of bad tee balls; it was mostly distance control (wind) and poor touch around the greens (cold hands and fast greens).
Maybe this was a pre-cursor to Sunday, but of all the guys finishing up through 16, 17, and 18 in the cold, Zach was one of a very few that finished that stretch at par or better.
I also noticed you had a video of Vikram and Justin on there that was very cool as well. I don't know if you've listed that link anywhere else on the site???
