What they said about Aronimink

Golf Betting Lines

07/04/2010 - Newtown Square, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Aronimink Golf Club was in the spotlight this week as the host of the AT&T National.

It was the first big event since the 2003 Senior PGA Championship, and few would say the AT&T wasn't a success. Over 160,000 fans flocked to the event for the four competitive rounds, and the winning score was just 10-under par.

Winner Justin Rose carded a 64 in round two for the course record and was the only player to reach double figures under par.

Check out what some of the players and broadcasters had to say about the first PGA Tour event at Aronimink since the 1962 PGA Championship:

- Lee Janzen after Thursday's opening round, via Twitter: "Love Aronimink. You have to think thru every shot where to leave your ball."

Joe Ogilvie on the possible pin locations on the Donald Ross-built course: "They could put 18 pins where you just can't go for them. They could set this course up extremely difficult."

Ogilvie added: "Some golf courses look like they can hold big events. This is one of them. And I think the fans make it a big event."

During Friday's second-round broadcast, David Feherty stated: "The whole golf course is playing like a conundrum."

Robert Garrigus on Tuesday after playing a practice round: "It's got a major championship feel here. I was telling everybody, you could hold a U.S. Open here tomorrow. You don't even need to do anything to the place. I don't think the USGA would like how wide the fairways are, but the fairways are perfect and the rough is six inches thick."

Before missing the cut, Dustin Johnson shared these thoughts: "It's a great golf course. It's very tough. I think it's going to play similar to a major. The rough is very high and the greens are firm and fast, so it's going to be a good test of golf this week."

Despite being born in the area, Jim Furyk had never played Aronimink prior to this week. This is what he said after playing in the pro-am: "I'm taken aback by its difficulty. I think it's a very tough golf course. It's tough to get the ball in the fairways. The greens are very big, but are cut up into smaller sections. Add to that, there's probably the thickest and the longest rough we've had for a PGA Tour event this year."

Is this a major or the AT&T National Nick Watney is talking about? "Short- sided is very difficult, the greens are fast, and you can get to a spot where 15 or 20 feet is a good chip-shot. Yeah, you have to definitely think your way around."

Jason Day probably spoke for the entire field Thursday when he said: "The rough is pretty brutal out there."

After firing a six-under 64 to take the lead after round two, Rose said: "This golf course has a lot of those types of characteristics where you need to play smart, you need to leave yourself below the hole, you need to not take on a lot of shots out there. You need to be very patient."
