UNIVERSITY PLACE, Washington, June 19 (Reuters) - Tiger Woods said it was "tough" while Jordan Spieth described it as "dumb" when asked about the 18th hole at Chambers Bay which has switched between a par-five and par-four at this week's U.S. Open.
The par-five version, set at 617 yards for the opening round, met with general approval from the players but the par-four incarnation, a beast of 514 yards for Friday's second round, was widely panned.
"Eighteen as a par-four doesn't make much sense," Spieth told reporters after double-bogeying the hole en route to a three-under-par 67 that earned him the early clubhouse lead.
