The plan for No. 10
The 10th at Winged Foot Golf Club (West Course) is a 190.0-yard par 3 that plays straightaway.
Off the tee
Club selection is critical on this hole, typically calling for anything from a 6-iron to a 4-iron depending on wind conditions and pin position. The target line should favor the center of the green, resisting the temptation to fire directly at tucked pins. Winged Foot's greens are notoriously firm and fast, so plan for minimal roll upon landing. Take one extra club if there's any doubt, as coming up short often leads to more difficult recovery shots than being slightly long. Pay close attention to wind direction, as it can easily turn a well-struck shot into trouble.
Approach & recovery
Since this is a par-3, the tee shot IS the approach shot. Focus on smooth tempo and solid contact rather than trying to muscle the ball. The small green means there's little room to work with different trajectories, so commit to your normal ball flight. If the pin is tucked in a corner, aim for the fat part of the green and rely on putting rather than trying to get cute with your iron play. The green's small size amplifies any slight misses, so precision trumps aggression every time.
On the green
Winged Foot's greens are renowned for their subtle breaks and lightning-fast speeds. Even on this smaller green, expect nuanced undulations that can catch the unwary off-guard. Lag putting becomes crucial - getting your first putt close is more important than making everything. Study the green carefully during your approach, noting any slopes that might affect your ball's roll. Pin positions in the corners of this small green create particularly challenging two-putt scenarios, so don't be afraid to putt defensively to the center if facing a difficult downhill or sidehill lie.
