SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- As usual at a major, Mother Nature decided she needed to add her stamp to things. Thats fine, except it threw a monkey wrench into some golfers strategy for how they were going to play the course. And what did that mean for the caddies in Round 2?Lets find out!Collins: How much different was the course Friday compared to Thursday? Caddie: Um (thinking hard on how to describe it) ... overall, I would say it was 4 shots different, easier.Collins: Whats it like to be out there after a rainstorm like that knowing the PGA of America isnt going to play lift, clean and place? Caddie: Thats the thing -- mud balls. Mud balls were an issue early on ... right after the rain came we were picking up mud, so you gotta play either way left or right for balls moving, hopefully. Collins: Hopefully? What does hopefully mean? Caddie: Hopefully because the ball doesnt always do what its supposed to do ... when its got mud on it. And sometimes it does a lot more than you expect, and you cant play that much. I mean how do you aim left of a green when the pins on the right side of the green expecting the ball to move that far?Collins: Whats the challenge caddying in conditions like that when youre getting mud balls and course conditions that are so different? Caddie: Well, its soft and you want to be firing at the pins because you know you can, but if you have the mud balls, then you gotta be kinda playing conservative. And (yet) you know youve gotta be kind of aggressive cause its (playing) easy. So the biggest challenge is accepting mud balls. Its like when you hit it in a divot in the fairway. You know its rub of the green and everyone else is dealing with it. Thats what you gotta think; everybody else is dealing with it. Cause if you start thinking its just you, youre wrong! But a lot of players think that way.Collins: Which hole did you see the biggest difference between Thursday and Friday? Caddie: Oh, No. 4! I was out yesterday morning early watching golf before our round. Jason Day, Phil (Mickelson), and Rory (McIlroy) came through and they all hit 8-iron ... That was in the morning. In the afternoon yesterday, we got up to the tee and the guy IIm working for .dddddddddddd.. he hit 4-iron! Same (hole location), same day. So in the morning yesterday, the wind was helping off the left, and in the afternoon it was like into left to right. So it switched around. Collins: And today howd it play? Caddie: Today it was pretty much just left to right, pretty light and wet. And it was on the top shelf, so if you were playing it yesterday, theres no way to land it on the top shelf and have it stop. Now today with it wet, we played to have it land all the way on the top shelf and stick. And it does. Collins: And if you have a mud ball on a par-3, thats your fault! Caddie: (Laughing hysterically.) Mud ball on a par-3!Collins: Would it really be that bad to play lift, clean and place during a major? Caddie: Im not a fan of it. Collins: (Honestly shocked.) Youre not? Caddie: I think they should just play it down. Thats the way (the game) was intended to be played, and if you get that (mud ball) you deal with it. I think it makes better character (for a player). I think you shouldnt touch the ball til you get on the green. If (weather conditions are) that bad, then I think you shouldnt be playing. A lot of guys would disagree with me, a lot of players especially, but (trails off thinking about it) ... I think its just part of the game. I dont know. Thats how I feel about it. I like watching tough golf. I like playing the tough golf, tough conditions, you know? I think its more interesting than easy golf. For these (pros) too, watching these guys test their skill ... I like it when its bouncing and running and you have to think about your pitch spot and how much its gonna release. Like the Canadian Open last week, British Opens, those are fun.Collins: So when its soft and easy you like the mud ball concept because it means losing a little control. Caddie: Otherwise theyd all be shooting lights out ... youd see a few more 63s, 64s, 65s, and you had ball in hand? Itd make it easy ... Inconsistencies, and hopefully everybody gets the same amount of inconsistencies, and it evens out. ' ' '
