This is one of the few greens renovated by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, who restored the right side of the putting surface to its original size. The green still plays smaller than any green on the course except for the fifth hole, as shots that land on the front portion will likely end up in a collection area. Recovering from the bunker on the right is difficult.
Players who favor the left side off the tee of this dogleg-left hole will likely receive a forward bounce down the hill. Most players will face a slight downhill lie on their approach shot to a green with a pronounced back-to-front slope, particularly in the front section. Putting toward a front hole location from the back of the green will require a deft touch.
