Scratch amateur plays easiest-ever PGA Championship site. Here’s how it went

Mark Goble, a scratch amateur, recently played the easiest-ever PGA Championship site, Southern Hills Country Club. Despite the course’s forgiving layout, Goble struggled, shooting a first-round 79.

After his round, Goble said that he was disappointed with his performance.

“I didn’t play very well,” Goble said. “I missed a lot of fairways and greens, and I didn’t make any putts. I’m just going to have to go back to the drawing board and work on my game.”

Despite his struggles, Goble said that he enjoyed the experience of playing in the PGA Championship.

“It was a great experience,” Goble said. “I got to see how the best players in the world play, and I learned a lot about my own game.”
