AP writer Doug Ferguson's take:
The strength of the tee shot is the prevailing wind over native grass to the fairway, made even more difficult by a new tee that is 23 yards longer. There are runoff areas on both sides and behind the green, making it important to stay straight. Trees behind the green have been removed to make it a less defined target.
