Luke Donald has admitted that he is expecting a lot of players to voice their displeasure with the course at Chambers Bay ahead of the US Open.
Severe slopes make the Washington course a links-style test, which is unusual for a US Open, and Donald believes that patience will be key over the four days as the players prepare for a unique challenge.
The former world number one told reporters: "I think the whinge factor will be high to very high. I was asked how I would describe Chambers Bay and the only word I could come with was 'bizarre'.
"People don't like stepping out of their comfort zone and what they know. This is a step into the unknown.
"It will be a case of managing your patience but someone's still going to be very happy on Sunday night."
Donald will play alongside Ryo Ishikawa and JB Holmes in the first two rounds.
