This dogleg-left hole, which was a par 4 in previous U.S. Opens, will play as a risk-reward par 5. With a good tee shot, nearly every player will have a chance to go for the green in two, although they face a downhill-sidehill lie for the second shot because of the tilt of the fairway. Laying back on the second shot leaves a demanding approach, with the ball significantly above the right-handed player’s feet. This is by far the toughest green to hit and the toughest to putt at Pinehurst.
