Fans are tuning out on a top-level leaderboard because they’re upset with too many birdies? Some weird “fans.”
I get you like DJ, so I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise. I didn't initially quote your post to disagree with you, you quoted mine. I'm not looking for confrontation here because I get this is exciting for you. Its probably exciting for
@Dr John Carlson. But for the neutral, this isn't really an exciting leaderboard. All the main draws in the game, Tiger, Phil, Rory, Jordan are not in contention. Up and coming young stars like Rahm or Thomas aren't either. Its a bunch of high level late 20's/early 30's Americans on one major, but not really any of the games big draws. DJ is one of the games best players, but probably the worst draw of all the big names. Also, all of these players are on one major. Often people like to see first time major winners. I expect ratings pretty similar to last year, which were absolutely awful. But we'll see.
As for the conditions part, I think its pretty split. Some like it difficult, some like it easy.
