Course setup for playoff will be similar to final round

Brian Hewitt of The Golf Channel spoke with the USGA's Mike Davis about what the course setup might look like tomorrow morning for the playoff.  Davis told Hewitt that the USGA is going to keep the course around the same length as it was during Sunday's final round. 

Hewitt added that they are leaning toward keeping the tees up on the driveable par-4 14th, and that the front tees on the par-5 13th could be used as well. 

This has to be good news for Rocco, a much shorter hitter, who will be playing before Tiger all day.
