Unless you are talking about an outlier St Andrews Old Course double hole complex like 1 & 18, that doesn't make sense. 

Do you have any other examples? 

I dont write them all down. Lots where they play from another fairway. Today was a good day at the  Memorial. Lead ended at  -6. Even Rahm has a  chance now.

This almost never happens.

I know… because I'd see it in the ShotLink data. Sorry, bud.

But a higher percentage of players broke par today (43%) vs yesterday (33%) and yesterday was a boring birdie fest according to you.

What made today "a good day" in your opinion? Provide facts.

So which one is it? A boring birdie fest or a good tournament?

Rory was using a Smart Ball to keep the club/arms in front of him more in the backswing, 

Really?? I've always thought that his keeping his arms in front of him has been a major key of his swing and he just knew how to do it

As @iacasmentioned that it is also an outlier. But still, what's that gotta do with course set up? How does growing rough to five inches prevent that from happening?? Should they grow taller trees next?

I am curious as to how long he can keep this going.

I’m pulling for Rory but he’s struggling to hit greens.

Gotta love it when someone makes a broad statement, gets asked for some specific examples, and comes up empty.

It was a  good  day  because the  lead  didnt get above  -6,  Very  glad Hovland won. It  is so aggravating to see a one week wonder that  cant  miss anything  win. -7 is a good winning score. Jack should design all courses.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 

Just stop dude. It's embarrassing.

How is someone who is top 50 in the season long standings, has 5 top 10s this season considered a one week wonder??

Nope, I should. I'll make tougher courses than Jack!!! Zero birdies all week on my courses now that's a promise!
