US Open organisers are notorious for keeping the rough on the edge of the fairway so tall that it’s nearly impossible to find your ball if it lands in the long grass, and even harder to hit it out of there.

Footage shared by the US Open this week of the thick rough being tamed by greenkeepers using lawnmowers.

Golf fans were stunned by the rough grass, as well as the fact the ground staff opted to use push mowers instead of tractor mowers.

Fox Sports golf expert Paul Gow says it will be a golfer's nightmare this week .

It’s much more benign right now than it was that Monday , says Rory McIlroy .

“I’m glad we have spotters out there because last Monday you hit a ball off the fairway and you were looking for a good couple of minutes just to find it. It's very penal if you miss. Sometimes it's penal if they don’t miss,” he says. “The person with the most patience and the best attitude this week is the one that's going to win.”.
