And to your final point, I would say that the guys leading are the guys who have been the most precise/accurate. They've stayed out of the bunkers/fescue for the most part, and are finding the right areas of these greens.

That's my point too - just eliminate 2 of the P5 and you have a 70 score to par. That shaves off 4 strokes for everyone thus far and makes it a US Open feel.
1 and 18 really don't have to be P5
