The plan for No. 2
At 442 yards, this straightaway par 4 at TPC Scottsdale presents a classic test of accuracy and distance control. With no major hazards to navigate, success depends on finding the optimal position off the tee and executing a precise approach to the small green.
Off the tee
The key to this hole starts with an aggressive but controlled tee shot. With the fairway running straight and no significant hazards, focus on maximizing distance while maintaining accuracy. Most players should aim for the center of the fairway, allowing for a slight draw or fade based on your natural shot shape. Driver is typically the play here for longer hitters, while shorter players might consider a 3-wood or hybrid if it leaves them in their comfort zone for the approach distance. The target line should favor the side that gives you the best angle into the pin position for the day. Position yourself around 150-170 yards from the green to optimize your approach angle.
Approach & recovery
The approach shot is where this hole shows its teeth. The small green demands precision, leaving little margin for error. Club selection is critical - take one more club than you think you need and swing smoothly rather than forcing a shot. Mid-iron to long-iron will typically be required, depending on your tee shot distance and conditions. Focus on the center of the green unless you're confident in your distance control and the pin position offers a clear advantage. The key is avoiding short-siding yourself, which becomes particularly punishing with a small target. Pay attention to wind conditions, as they can significantly affect club selection on this longer approach.
On the green
With a small green, putting becomes about precision rather than power. Focus on speed control above all else, as running putts past the hole on a compact surface leaves difficult comeback attempts. Study the overall slope of the green and look for subtle breaks that might not be immediately obvious. Pin positions on small greens can create dramatically different putting challenges, so adjust your approach strategy accordingly. When possible, leave yourself below the hole for uphill putts, which are generally easier to control on smaller surfaces.
