Stadium Course looms as challenge for Tour veterans and rookies alike

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Slow and difficult? Quick and easy?

You might think so, given the contrast in their situations, but be careful. Brendon Todd making his debut in The Players Championship at age 29 and in his 103rd PGA Tour tournament and Billy Hurley III doing so at 32 and in his 80th start shouldn’t be held against Justin Thomas, who at the tender of 22 is making his debut in just his 29th tournament.

What it all proves is, there is no blueprint for this PGA Tour business, and that definitions can be misleading.
