The plan for No. 13
The 13th at Winged Foot Golf Club (East Course) is a 146.0-yard par 3 that plays straightaway.
Off the tee
Club selection is paramount on this short par 3. Depending on pin position and wind conditions, expect to use anything from a pitching wedge to an 8-iron. The key is choosing a club that allows for a confident, controlled swing rather than forcing a shot. Aim for the center of the green regardless of pin position, as the small target leaves little margin for error. Take one extra club if there's any doubt, as being long is often preferable to coming up short on most par 3s.
Approach & recovery
Since this is a par 3, your tee shot is your approach. Focus on tempo and balance through impact, as the shorter distance can sometimes lead to deceleration or overthinking. Pay attention to wind direction, as even a moderate breeze can significantly affect a short iron shot. Commit fully to your club selection and swing with confidence, trusting your distance control rather than trying to steer the ball.
On the green
The small green size means putting strategy revolves around two-putt success rather than aggressive birdie attempts. Read the green carefully from multiple angles, as subtle breaks can be magnified on shorter putts. Focus on speed control, as running putts past the hole on a small green often leaves difficult comeback attempts. When the pin is tucked near an edge, aim for the fat part of the green and accept a longer but more manageable putt.
