Only he wasn't talking about Congressional. The 18-year-old from Argentina is the first alternate in the U.S. Open, and he isn't even allowed to play the course unless someone withdraws.

Grillo was in Rochester, N.Y., for the Monroe Invitational Championship when he faced what would seem to be an easy decision: Stick around and compete against college-age amateurs or sit around Congressional with an outside chance of playing in the U.S. Open.

"I'm happy to be here," he said. "I'm not really happy, but I'm here. And that's all that matters."

The USGA is hoping the recent changes will prevent another debacle at Shinnecock, one of the country's hallmark courses, which will host its fifth U.S. Open.

"Shinnecock is a challenging course to set up, and we certainly experienced that in 2004 when we let the course get away from us the last round," USGA president Jim Hyler said Wednesday. "This has been well chronicled and Callaway X24 Irons

discussed over the years. I will tell you that we have used this as a wholesome learning experience, and this experience led us to the development of our current setup philosophy that we use today."
The new setup guidelines feature "graduated rough" — grass that's grown longer and thicker the farther it gets from the fairway. The idea there is to penalize players more for shots that go further astray than those that miss the fairway by a foot or two. The USGA also started moving tee boxes around to better adjust to weather conditions that affect scoring.

"When it comes to a U.S. Open, you've got the world's best players, and if you're trying to set it up as the hardest event of the year, it's easier to go to that point of having a setup where well-executed shots wholesale golf clubs are penalized," said USGA executive director Mike Davis, who is in charge of course set-up. "And that's exactly what was happening on some of the holes at Shinnecock in 2004 in that final round."
