Video: Chambers Bay Fourth Hole Flyover

By the looks of this one the course picks up considerable steam in the difficulty department playing 495 yards uphill and with what sounds like a fairway that can get tricky if the ball is running.

Bradley Klein has just posted at Golfweek his thoughts on each hole and he finds more strategy in this one than Gil describes in the flyover. (Thanks reader PG.)

The flyover, with commentary from Sonders and Hanse.

Tiger...Or Is It Bigfoot Spotted At Chambers Bay?

First there was a jet sighting, then several blurry photos, and then a long distance shot of something resembling a standing, two-legged being inhabiting a Chambers Bay fairway. Further analysis determined it to be of human origin and most definitely Tiger Woods scouting the 2015 U.S. Open host site. Phil Mickelson was also spotted sneaking in some golf but got a much better weather day.

Safe to say you can add Tiger to the list who have made the cross-country trek to the remote lands of University Place. And mercifully, we've gotten the two biggest scouting trips out of the way.
