Question: Find the area of the red triangle. Of course, it's not actually possible for half a dog to compete in a dog show, but for the sake of this math problem let's assume that it is. But you're not done yet! You then have to add 6.5 to 36 to get the number of small dogs competing, which is 42.5. “So I made sure that I got back to even par, and I did, and I don’t care if it’s at a major or in a skins game on Tuesday back at my home club, it’s just how I roll.”ĪP Golf Writer Doug Ferguson contributed to this report.In order to figure out how many small dogs are competing, you have to subtract 36 from 49 and then divide that answer, 13, by 2, to get 6.5 dogs, or the number of big dogs competing. “When I’m even 1-over, whether it’s at a PGA Championship or at home playing against my kids, I’m just - I need to get back (to even par), it’s just how I am,” said the 46-year-old Block, who has yet to make the cut at a major in seven tries.

Many players on the tee box on the potentially driveable uphill 317-yard par-4 waited for the group ahead to give them the clearance to go for it. While not unusual for the opening day of a major - particularly one with a 156-player field - a bottleneck around the 14th hole didn’t help matters.
