The USGA calculates that adding the green surface ratings for each of the 18 holes on the average U.S. Open course produces a difficulty figure of 110, as compared with a figure of 72 for all U.S. courses. Augusta National's total is an astonishing 148, the highest in the country. OK, so the greens are tough.
As for its speed, it's ridiculously fast, at least 12.5 on a Stimpmeter, though it would be hard to find a level putt to use Edward S. Stimpson's simple and useful invention for capturing green speeds.

The simple version is that an individual or team scores only on those holes which start with T or an F. The other holes are still played in the round, but they have no influence on the total score. There are obvious disadvantages with such a method of playing.

Besides donning the coveted green jacket, Woods earned a sizable paycheck: $2.07 million, which is the standard 18 percent of the total pot.
