 What do we all think about the changes to the course at Wentworth? Do you think they have made it more of a spectacle for the spectators  in particular the 8th & 18th ?

I know that the likes of Westwood and Co. have been critical of the change, but should golf courses be designed for the professional golfer or the viewing public?

I think the changes have made Wentworth a much tougher course for the pros, and more of a theatre for the public so well done Ernie.

I agree Roger.
I have enjoyed the tournament more this year seeing the Pro's "struggle" with the additional challenges that they now face, and feel that -6 is a much more appropriate winning score than has hitherto been the case.
I was though disappointed in the standard of play on the final day (today), with so many of the leading players coming in well over par for their final round - I'm not sure that this can be "blamed" on the course especially when Karlsson shot -9 yesterday!
