‘Man up and get on with it!' – Scots golf legend in astonishing blast at players moaning about US Open rough conditions
COLIN MONTGOMERIE has told the elite golfers who are unimpressed with the tough conditions at the US Open this week to "man up". Oakmont is playing host to the third major of the golf season this week and the rough in particular is brutal. 4 The rough at Oakmont will make things extremely tough st the US Open Credit: Getty 4 Colin Montgomerie had a few choice words for unhappy golfers at the event Credit: Getty 4 The rough is being kept to a uniform five inches by an army of lawnmowers Credit: Getty 4 Tyrrell Hatton takes a shot from the rough during a practice round Credit: EPA It was measured at around five inches deep but the United States Golf Association (USGA) trimmed it down after a series of complaints from the game's top players. The Pennsylvania track is renowned for its difficulty even under normal circumstances - with a reputation as perhaps the hardest golf course in the world - with narrow and sometimes sloping fairways, a litany of penal bunkers and tricky and undulating greens (with a few blind approaches). But things have been ramped up for the US Open, with the greens running even quicker and the rough allowed to grow thicker than usual. An army of lawnmowers have been sent out to keep the rough in check as star players opined that the average amateur golfer wouldn't even FINISH their round. Recent Masters winner Rory McIlroy revealed he shot an 81 (11 over par) in practice, two-time US Open champ Bryson DeChambeau called it "the hardest course you can play right now" and Jhonattan Vegas, who led the PGA Championship last month, went as far as to call the rough "unplayable". But Monty is having none of it. A three-time US Open runner-up - including one at Oakmont in 1994 - Montgomerie said players these days have no excuse for missing the fairways and landing in the suped-up rough. He pointed to improvements in equipment compared to his day and said only harsh winds would be a valid reason for errant shots. Speaking at at Trump International Golf Links, ahead of the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship, Montgomerie, 61, said: 'I was disappointed at the USGA having to cut the rough a wee bit because it was too severe. '[Compare] technology now from 30 years ago. US Open release incredible video of army of lawnmowers to tackle rough as stars brand conditions 'unplayable' 'The golf ball that we were playing with 30 years ago moved around all over the place. It was soft, it went 20 yards shorter. 'Now, the golf club development, the drivers, the irons, the putters, look at the putters now, the development in the putters. 'So, get on with it. For Christ's sake, you've got technology there that is beyond what you would ever, ever dream of. 'Use it and play golf. I mean, at this level, you shouldn't be missing any fairways, unless it's blowing a gale. 'The research and development that's been poured into the game, man up. Yeah, get on with it.'

USGA has no plans to publish results of driver tests
OAKMONT, Pennsylvania, June 11 (Reuters) - The United States Golf Association (USGA) said on Wednesday it has no plans to publish results or change protocols for driver testing after clubs belonging to two of the game's biggest names failed conformance tests last month. USGA CEO Mike Whan, speaking ahead of this week's U.S. Open, said drivers deemed non-conforming through random tests are the result of overuse and "creep over the line" of what's allowed but never raise eyebrows by those overseeing the tests. Driver testing made headlines at the PGA Championship last month after a report said the club belonging to Masters champion Rory McIlroy was ruled non-conforming. McIlroy, who later confirmed the report and expressed his disappointment that test results were leaked, played with a backup driver all week. World number one Scottie Scheffler, speaking after he won the PGA Championship, revealed he also used a backup driver that week after his original one failed a test. Whan said the USGA conducts driver testing as a service to players, manufacturers and the tours and has no desire to see results made public. "If I'm being honest with you, I think in terms of what happened at the PGA Championship, it made us more committed to not wanting to have this be the topic of the town," said Whan. "Because I think when you talked about a rules violation or somebody who's playing with a hot driver, that gets so much more sensational than the reality." Faces on the drivers used by current players relax over time and ultimately lead to them failing a so-called "characteristic time" test that measures the spring-like effect of the club. Whan likened the test to someone jumping on a trampoline, saying the longer they are on the trampoline the higher they bounce off. "So we set a limit with manufacturers in terms of how long that ball can stay on -- it's tested in terms of microseconds," Whan said. "There's a test, there's a tolerance, but at the end of the day, if it's on there for more than 258 microseconds, we consider that club out of tolerance." Although Whan said the USGA conducted random tests this week at Oakmont Country Club, where the year's third major begins on Thursday, he was not aware of any failures. "I know that if we saw a trend that was alarming in terms of either how many or how far they were moving beyond, we would change the way we approach it," Whan said.

Rory McIlroy behaviour leaves McGinley really worried at US Open - ‘Not normal'
Rory McIlroy has looked a shadow of the player that won the Masters just two months ago - and Paul McGinley is not confident about his US Open chances after seeing his press conference Paul McGinley has voiced his concern over Rory McIlroy 's behaviour as the US Open gets underway this week, saying "this is not normal Rory'. McIlroy found himself on top of the world after breaking an 11-year major drought with a Masters victory, making him only the sixth man to win a career Grand Slam. Yet, just two months later, his chances of winning the US Open appear to be slim. Factors such as him seemingly coasting, controversy around his driver and the resurgence of rival Scottie Scheffler could be given as reasons for this dramatic decline. After a brief break following Augusta, McIlroy disappointed at the PGA Championship and registered one of his worst performances statistically at the RBC Canadian Open last week. The Northern Irishman is, therefore, not the favourite to come away with a win at the gruelling Oakmont Country Club. He confessed in his pre-tournament press conference on Tuesday that he was still riding the wave of his Masters triumph in April, having chased that accolade for a decade. McIlroy's lacklustre form and low spirits during the same press conference have now prompted golf icon McGinley to downplay his chances of success at the upcoming tournament. Speaking on Sky Sports, McGinley said: 'You'd have to say it was very worrying looking at his press conference there. His eyes weren't alive. The energy was not there. 'He certainly didn't have the pointy elbows the way we saw coming into the Masters. [At the Masters] he was a man on a mission, he was a man on a bounce, he was a man out to prove something. 'Get out of my way, here I come.' You could see that and feel the energy. 'You don't see it at the moment. I know from my own experience, when you win tournaments, you check out. You don't feel the same. You want to be there, and you put in the energy, but something inside you is just missing. 'It takes some time for that to reset, and I think he's going through a period of that. He's completed a Grand Slam – it's a huge achievement. 'I'm no psychologist but it looks like the air has been sucked out of him a little since that, not just in the way he's played but in his press conferences. It's very un-Rory-like to have such low energy. This is not normal Rory. 'This is not when he's at his best. In my opinion, I think he's at his best when he's p***ed off or following off a big loss or something that went wrong.' McIlroy acknowledged that it has been hard to get motivated and grind like he did before the Masters, saying last week in Canada: 'You dream about the final putt going in at the Masters but you don't think about what comes next.' When probed about his plans for the next phase of his career, McIlroy couldn't offer much of an answer, saying: 'I have no idea. I'm sort of just taking it tournament by tournament at this point." And when commenting on his disastrous outing in Canada, he added: 'It makes it easier to reset in some way, to be like, 'Okay, I sort of need to get my stuff together here and get back to the process and sort of what I'd been doing for that seven months from October last year until April this year.'
