Other than vintage Tiger, even the best players miss cuts all the time. Golf is not like tennis where the best players (almost) always go deep in the tournament. Rory has missed multiple cuts this year as the #1 in the world.
-750 just seems too high IMO.

GL all.
Eh, this is much ado about nothing. There are actually over 1000 bunkers on the course, but as you said, many of them aren't really in play. And I don't think there are any more bunkers in play around the greens than there are on any other PGA Tour course.
Besides, if he contends he'll be on the good side of short-term variance and convert 8 of 10 or the like.
