Is this particular course soft compared to the courses from prior years? The scores today are ridiculous when compared with last year (https://udisclive.com/live/lvc2018/1?t=scores&d=MPO).

Probably more to do with the wind. Iirc, last year had very heavy wind. Udisc says its 5-10mph today.
The course for R1 is the same. But last year, the conditions became outrageously windy by the time the top players teed off. Hence how two 990-rated guys ended up on lead card after the first round.

I thought it wasn't that windy today?
It looks like GG put one in the circle on the same hole for eagle as well.

Hole in question can be seen in last year's coverage: https://youtu.be/IbA9O2Zu_E8?t=328 - start at 5m28s if the link doesn't take you there. Nate Sexton says in the commentary that he doesn't buy the 621 listed distance, and feels it's closer to about 550.

Or, maybe I'm jumping onto the par inflation good-times feel-good happy-happy look-at-my-course's-big-par bandwagon.
Even par is 933? Heck, I might be able to pull that off on a good day. (Especially since all the OB is out of reach of my drives.) To think an MA60 who finishes in the last half at most events could hope for par at an NT? Life is wonderful.
Strange that a 7200 foot course could be considered deuce-or-die, but for players of this caliber and on a course devoid of obstacles and foliage, it definitely is.
I get that it's a necessary course for the am side of the event, but this course does not strike me as one that is appropriate for an NT. Guess it's good they're only playing it once.
