Met Open - Live From the Five and Dime Hole

-Billy Condon

And we're back with the afternoon wave of competitors.

The groups that have been coming through have been making a barrage of pars. Whether they get on the green in regulation or have to chip on, the players are relying on their short game to make their four. The breeze is more calm than it was in the morning and players continue to find themselves below the hole and off the green.

After talking to a few of the players who have already finished, they have had a common response that in order to score, you must put the ball over the hole and have it spin back. Unfortunately, on these greens, the balls are spinning back 20-30 feet in some cases.
