I haven’t  not even for one second  thought about it.”</p><p><span class="bold">TOUGH CONDITIONS EXPECTED </span>Many players Tuesday said they had expected the conditions at Torrey Pines Golf Course to be more difficult than what they saw in their practice rounds.</p><p> “I think they know they have a big, tough golf course, so they’re taking it easier on us,” <a href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/h/padraig_harrington/index.html?inline=nyt-per" title="More articles about Padraig Harrington.">Padraig Harrington</a> said. “It’s far from easy, don’t get me wrong, but I think the fairways are about 10 yards wider than I expected. It will still take incredible consistency. You have to hit the same accurate shot over and over and over again. It will test your entire game. It’s all the tough things it should be, but over all, I like that.”</p><p> Several golfers compared the layout to the conditions at the 2007 Open at Oakmont. Few predicted Torrey Pines would yield scores as high as that event, where the winner, Ángel Cabrera, was five over and six other golfers finishing in the top 10 had scores of 10 over or higher.</p><p> “That was just amazingly hard,” Geoff Ogilvy said. “Now there are some pretty intimidating shots here at Torrey Pines, but it’s all right in front of you. It also helps if you survived a U.S. Open before.”</p><p> Immelman said, “It’s still a seriously difficult golf course, but I think it’s fairly set up.”</p><p><span class="bold">SEEING GREEN </span>The last time there was this much talk about different grasses might have been when Cheech and Chong were filming “Up in Smoke” in Hollywood. But this is what happens when a West Coast golf course hosts a United States Open with three varieties of grass on the course, two of them in the rough.</p><p>The greens are poa annua grass, a hardy strain that thrives in coastal California. The rough is a mixture of rye grass and kikuyu grass, which will be cut in graduated lengths of three heights: a first cut of one and three-quarter inches; a first cut of primary rough of two and a half inches; and a primary rough of three and a half inches. </p><p>Players have been lavish in their praise of the setup, which will allow golfers who barely miss the fairway to still play shots into the green. But as uniform as the heights sound, there still will be some fortunate variations in lies  when little patches of the gnarly kikuyu grass form mats that hold the ball atop the rough in a clean lie.</p><p>“That’s the tricky part,” <a href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/w/tiger_woods/index.html?inline=nyt-per" title="More articles about Tiger Woods.">Tiger Woods</a> said. “We can get lies in that first cut that sit up where literally you can hit a driver off of it. But there are some patches where you’re looking more sideways trying to get the ball back to the fairway.” <span class="bold">LARRY DORMAN </span> </p><NYT_UPDATE_BOTTOM></NYT_UPDATE_BOTTOM></NYT_TEXT><div class="nextArticleLink"><a onClick="s_code_linktrack('Article-MoreArticlesBottom');" href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/sports/index.html">More Articles in Sports »</a></div></div></div><div id="articleExtras"><div id="adxCircBottom"><p><A HREF="http://www.nytimes.com/adx/bin/adx_click.html?type=goto&opzn&page=www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/sports/golf&pos=Bottom1&sn2=6a66f772/a936a228&sn1=74cccc19/302c4f57&camp=nyt2010-circ-tr-footer-us-nonhp-2week-3748J&ad=081810-footer-us-nonhp-2week-3748J&goto=http%3A%2F%2Ftimesreader%2Enytimes%2Ecom%2Fwebapp%2FTimesReader%2Edo%3FpromoCode%3DT9179XQW1%26campaignId%3D3748J" target="_blank">Get the full newspaper experience, and more, delivered to your Mac or PC.
