The plan for No. 5
This is Bellerive's hard-par, comfortable-bogey idea: the fairway kicks right, but left rough can create an even worse angle.
Off the tee
Drive for the widest zoysia window rather than overcorrecting into left rough.
Approach & recovery
Use the open portion of the massive green and accept par when the day's section is not realistically accessible.
On the green
The wide, shallow target and steep surrounds make depth control more important than flag hunting.
Watch for
- deep greenside bunkers
- penal rough on both sides
