Maybe. The Tiger of old would have played all five in the face of 54 holes per day in a tornado. Guys like Dustin and Overton, lean natural athletes could certainly do it with little physical drop off, but the mental toll is just as great. It's just something the captains will have to factor in more than was originally expected.
You may or may not remember the Chris Riley Ryder Cup fiasco where he and his partner demolished a team Saturday morning, but then said he was too tired to go Saturday afternoon. Everybody was stunned and he never did a thing after that in golf. Want to say it was the year Hal Sutton was the captain.
