Tiger led the PGA Tour in par-5 scoring average in every season from 1997 through 2003, and not just by a couple hundredths.

Tiger's par-5 scoring average of 4.37 was 0.13 better than the next player on that list, Vijay Singh -- the widest gap that Tiger enjoyed during his time at No. 1.

Larry Nelson and Lanny Wadkins finished at 1-under 287, neither making birdie on the par-5 closing hole with a chance to win. Nelson won in a sudden-death playoff, though that took place at No. 10.

Weather then intervened. Dry winters and windy weeks led to Lee Janzen's 5-under winning score in 1995 and David Duval's 3-under in 1999, still the highest score by a winner in tournament history.

You can’t birdie a par 5 with your first shot, after all. It’s why Cantlay’s initial goal is always giving himself an opportunity to attack on the second shot, and not lay up.

Rory McIlroy began his third round in magical fashion with 3 after 3 after 3 — six of them, in fact. He started birdie-eagle-birdie-par-birdie-par to ascend to the top of the leaderboard at 11 under.

So, I'm like, well my eye from 30,000 feet was like, I think we need to seriously look and shift No. 10 back from a par 4 to a par 5, which would be a historic moment in TOUR history.
