What do PGA Tour golfers have to say about the Black Desert Resort?

This week, the PGA Tour golfers are playing at the Black Desert Resort and some of the golfers had a say about the course. Ben Kohles, who is in second place, shared his thoughts on playing 'at a little bit of altitude', via Golfweek:

"It’s funny, obviously we’re at a little bit of altitude. The ball usually goes a little bit shorter when it’s a little cooler out, but obviously with altitude it seemed like they were going pretty standard stock numbers back at sea level. Didn’t really have to make too many adjustments," Ben Kohles said.

Nick Taylor, on T37 after the second round of the tournament, shared his thoughts about the course on 10 October.

"Off the tee, keeping it in play is definitely step one. The greens are quite large but they have small little pockets, and I think being so new, the grass hasn’t quite settled yet. So there’s going to be a lot of subtle breaks that make it pretty tricky to read...I think from far away it looks like there’s massive slopes and big breaks, but really once you’re in those areas where the pin will be — we’ve had a lot of little subtle double breakers from 10 feet quite often the last two days," Taylor added.

2024 Presidents Cup International team captain Mike Weir also told Golfweek that the scenery of the Black Desert Resort was the most captivating sight.
