The plan for No. 10
Decide where the next shot should begin before deciding whether to drive the green. This short par 4 rewards a useful angle more reliably than distance alone.
Off the tee
A finish on the left generally opens the next shot, but a large left miss can create its own recovery. Compare an attacking shot with a deliberate layup using your actual dispersion and the day's flag.
Approach & recovery
The narrow green sits at an angle to the fairway. Pick the portion with the most usable landing depth from your position; a short wedge from the wrong side can still be a difficult shot.
On the green
Preserve the putting surface as your target even when the hole looks reachable. Do not trade a reasonable putt for a bunker recovery simply because the flag is close.
Watch for
- Bunkers surrounding the narrow angled green
- A tee shot that leaves very little landing depth for the approach

Research notes
- The account contrasts a successful layup with an over-aggressive drive that left a difficult recovery on the tenth. Its unsupported Tour-statistics claim is excluded. (0:23:02–0:24:17)[1]
- The narrow green favors an approach from the left. (08:20–08:45 (inspected frame interval))[2]
- The tenth has a narrow green angled to the fairway with surrounding bunkers. (Drivable par-4 section)[3]
- George C. Thomas designed the course, which opened in 1927. (Opening course-history paragraph)[4]
- Riviera pairs an inviting opening par 5 with a demanding second and distinctive par 3s at 4, 6, 14 and 16. (Starting holes / Par-3 holes)[3]
- The 2018 firsthand account links lost strokes to automatic driver selection and unfamiliar kikuyu lies; it supports checking landing positions and the actual lie rather than copying club choices. (0:16:55–0:18:23)[1]
