Interesting analysis of what (possibly) would have happened if the rule change was in place in the past ... https://www.pga.com/news/golf-buzz/heres-who-would-won-every-us-open-if-playoff-only-two-holes
Like most of these kinds of looking back, it's hard to say how those involved might have played differently with a different format.

Wow -- what an interesting analysis.
For me, it solidifies that the 18-hole playoff is the better format. It's what makes the USGA event unique. I'd rather see sudden death or 4 holes (British), as opposed to 2-holes.
This decision seems to be all about money. TV revenues and cost to keep up operations for another day.
