You can take it high in the air and have it land really soft. The ball will stop easier on the green, instead of having it hit and roll off the back of the green, which is what happens with long irons.
When this golf course plays firm and fast, I don`t think that length is an issue for most of the field. When it gets wet and soft, I think it`s a huge advantage for the longer players. They`re not going to get to some of those tighter areas off the tee. T...
They tend to give themselves more opportunities, both players, because of their dominating length, good ball-striking ability. And as good as they are, they have more opportunities than most players.
I didn`t do anything exceptionally well today. Overall, I think the best thing I did was (I) stayed out of trouble and kept the ball in front of me all day.
