Well, the Europeans are already making excuses for the PGA Championship this week at 7,392-yard Baltusrol.

"They've made the same old mistake, gone for length instead of subtlty," Irishman Paul McGinley told the Irish Examiner. "Length, length, length, that's not what the game is about, and still they're going to have good scoring here because the greens are soft."

Well, you know this happens all the time at majors. This is what they do, make the courses longer so it will be more of a test, hopefully to produce a great champion. McGinley went on to imply the course is being set up for long hitters like Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh.

"At the moment, the top four players in the world are also four of the longest hitters, so they're not going to stand up and say this is not the way the game should be," McGinley told the paper.

Little wonder no European has won this tournament in 75 years. Hey, get off the porch if you can't run with the big dogs.
