Last time something like this happened was 1957. It sounds like they don't plan on cutting the rough in between the two tournaments, with lengths around 3.5 inches this week and 4+ next week. Slower green speeds and some pin placements never seen at Muirfield will also happen this weekend.
Makes sense. If you slow down the green speed, it opens up for more varied pin placements.
Also like Sleepy's idea of graduating the rough further down. Another thing you can do is the old Mike Davis approach to US Opens and have 2-3 yards of lighter rough after the 1st cut and then really heavy rough after that.
