More from Tiger’s practice round at the host course for the 2007 US Open.

“It’s a great test, but has a lot of blind tee and second shots,” world number one Woods said in his monthly newsletter Tuesday. “Overall, I’d say it’s a lot harder than Augusta National.

“It’s an old-style course and I kept trying to figure out where the USGA (United States Golf Association) was going to put the pin placements for the U.S. Open in June. I’m still not sure.”

Not to be outdone by Augusta’s 240-yard par 3 fourth hole, Oakmont has stretched their par 3 eighth hole to 288-yards and begun the predictable bragging of “the longest par 3 in US Open history”.
