The USGA no longer places any importance on driving accuracy when this tournament used to be the hardest test of driving.

Bryson Dechambeau won a few years ago by just bombing it. He hit plenty out of the thick rough. The difference was he was hitting wedges and 9i and other players had to try to hit 6i or 7i. If anything thick US Open style rough can make just hitting the piss out of the ball the play.
There is a massssive difference in trying to hit a mid iron out of the rough compared to a short iron. I don't really think fairways hit is that big of a difference from top to bottom. Most players there is a 8 to 10% difference in fairways hit. But Rory is always gonna bomb it 330 and poor little Chez Reavie gonna hit not even as far as I do. Guys like him are completely ****ed. They can't ever hit 330 on avg.
