When Tiger Woods and Ernie Els had their epic bout 10 years ago--where they played the 18th hole time after time--there was serious drama. And its not because Tiger was in the playoff.
Viewers saw some weird bounces that week around the 18th hole, some of which were receptive and others that weren't.
The last few years I've watched the tournament, the hole has gotten way too predictable and has lost its novelty.
It has gotten to be quite boring to watch each player hit their drives off of the 18th tee roll out for 50 yards without a penalty.
Then there are the countless number of bail outs to the right of the green. And with the relative softness of the fairway 50 yards and in, there weren't any weird bounces we have grown accustomed to seeing.
I used to get excited as the final groups neared the closing hole at Kapalua. Not anymore.
