Virtual Flyover:
This hole is a very important scoring opportunity to get your round started. If you avoid the tree trouble on the left and large bunker on the right, you are going to be able to attack this downhill par-5 in two more than likely.
The only hole location where it’s difficult to give yourself a good eagle opportunity is the one on the back left. It’s on a very small knob, so usually the players will play short and right of the green to give themselves a good angle. The biggest key is just knowing where to miss the ball. Give yourself plenty of green to give yourself a nice birdie opportunity.
The Sunday pin is in the back right, and much like at 16, if you land the ball in the front portion of the green the contours will take it all the way back to the hole. If you eagle this hole out of the gates on Sunday, the leaders will certainly know that you are there.
This hole just has stunning views from the top of the fairway all the way down the hill to the green. The most famous shot here was Louis Oosthuizen’s albatross back in 2012.
