  - If Moldovan birdies 18 it will be a playoff - jdl Yesterday, 18:04:03
    - And done. Nick is in. - Illiniphil Yesterday, 18:17:54
    - How would that work.....all 4 guys at -7 play unil one drops?* - Illiniphil Yesterday, 18:12:34
      - Well it's a moot point since Maxwell left his birdie putt about 2" short - jdl Yesterday, 18:17:40
        
        Oh, that's gotta hurt. Never leave a birdie putt short. - Illiniphil Yesterday, 18:19:57
Off-topic: lots of bleachers, etc already up on Medinah #3: tournament in Sept I guess... - osklister Yesterday, 9:18:03
- it's amazing your crew makes fun of tarheel when you exist* - assassin Yesterday, 11:51:46
- I was there a couple of weeks ago, amazing the lead time they need for six days of use (practice)* - bucktownillini Yesterday, 11:48:27
  - I hear ya on that. Initiation over $150K, annual dues 12-18k beyond that. And # 3 closed for year? - osklister Yesterday, 12:10:45
    - 3 is open, that's the course I played. They limit the play on it so I don't think they will close - bucktownillini Yesterday, 14:06:39
      - Gawd bless, hope it happens that way. Lots of bleachers etc... - osklister Yesterday, 16:15:41
        
        There's only like five courses in the area that could host a major event - bucktownillini Yesterday, 16:26:09
        
        Chicago Golf Club is hosting the LPGA US Open in 2033* - IlliniJuice07 Yesterday, 16:49:48
        
        Probably not long enough for the men and the required stands that would need - bucktownillini Yesterday, 18:06:53
        
        Butler can't host anything as a practical matter* - gvibes Yesterday, 16:42:32
        
        Why? - Illiniphil Yesterday, 16:48:39

        Had to look it up: last major was the 1990 Western. - osklister Yesterday, 17:42:43
        
        Back in the day, Butler wouldn't let women get out of cars in the parking lot* - gvibes Yesterday, 18:11:40
    - Around here, even if you want to pay 200k fee, can’t get into better clubs. Oversubscribed* - cpsteine Yesterday, 13:38:57

Is there a strategy to picking where to qualify?* - Carl Spackler Yesterday, 8:34:11
- Larger sites have more spots available - jdl Yesterday, 9:29:39
  - But you can basically choose where to play… but you don’t quite know who you’re up against? - Carl Spackler Yesterday, 12:03:54
    - When you submit your entry you get to choose your preferred site - jdl Yesterday, 12:14:19
      - Woodmont (Rockville, MD) has held final round 39 of past 41 years so it's well known* - Potomac Yesterday, 13:29:34
