DP World Tour pro: "Oak Hill is hardest golf course I've ever played in my life"
"It's plain and simple" - DP World Tour pro Robert MacIntyre adamant Oak Hill is the toughest golf course he's ever played.
DP World Tour pro Robert MacIntyre believes this week's US PGA Championship test at Oak Hill is the "hardest golf course" he has ever played in his career.
MacIntyre, 26, admits he is feeling a lot better than when being forced out of the Italian Open through injury this month.
Only the prospect of 72 holes at Oak Hill strikes instant fear into him.
MacIntyre said:
He's not wrong. Oak Hill is a brute.
It's set up at 7,394 yards and it's a par-70.
The rough is juicy, too. Really juicy.

The Donald J. Ross-designed course is set to play even longer this week with forecast cold, wet conditions.
MacIntyre continued:
"I have to be honest, it's as tough a golf course as I've ever played in my life, and I think the majority of people would say the same."
The Scot added:
MacIntyre is currently on the outside looking in for a debut appearance in the European Ryder Cup side, but he knows a strong showing in the second major of the season this week will go a long way to impressing captain Luke Donald, who is also in the field.
Donald gave his latest thoughts to the media ahead of the Ryder Cup, making it clear the door is still very much ajar for LIV Golf players in his team.
