Those greens are crazy. Very few layouts those guys play (under normal non-major events) have that much movement on short putts, that they're playing a cup or more break from two feet...
Given the nature of the Poa greens, not to mention that the pro-am aspect generally has 8-10 people in every group walking around the hole and leaving spike marks - it tends to frustrate a lot of players.
I love the layout, I think it's one of the best designed courses in the world. The greens are a big part of the reason. They really are frightening for a fidgety putter, seldom do you see players ramming those short ones into the back of the hole because they know if they catch a lip - it's an even tougher putt coming next.
Not a fan of this event, but huge fan of Pebble. Hope to play there someday!
