Oak Hill Tames The Senior PGA
posted in News |Jay Haas is the only player under par for the first round of the Senior PGA. Jay who had it to three under at one point finished his first round at one under par. The wind blew and the temperatures were low.
The very demanding Oak Hill does not need any help from Mother Nature to inflict pain on the senior group. The wet conditions were very difficult when a player missed the fairway and had to deal with the long and wet rough. Most of the greens are elevated and protected by magnificant bunkering. Tom Watson who had it under par at one time finished with a disappointing eight over par 78 and will have to pick it up to make the cut.
Bernhard Langer who has been playing well on both tours had a one over 71. Look for the steady playing German to be there on Sunday afternoon. Langer plays very well on hard courses and does not normally beat himself.
Greg Norman shot a respectable two over 72. Greg has not been playing on the senior circuit for the past two seasons.
