Y.E. Yang, the 2009 US PGA champion, says the greens at Royal Melbourne are unfair, the first player on either Presidents Cup team to even remotely criticize the course.
"I don't know what Royal Melbourne has done, but these are probably the toughest greens I've ever played on," Yang said. "If you just lose your focus for a split second, you can make bogey or double or triple.
"I want to say they are unfair, really, because they seem unfair to me. If you go into just a little bit of a tricky position, all hell breaks out. That's what I've experienced for the past two days."
His playing partner today will be fellow South Korean K.T. Kim. They'll play Americans Hunter Mahan and David Toms in foursomes.
Unlike Yang, Kim said he was "impressed" by the firm greens, which he played for the first time six years ago in an amateur tournament.
