The plan for No. 13
The 13th at Winged Foot Golf Club (West Course) is a 212.0-yard par 3 that plays straightaway.
Off the tee
Your tee shot IS your approach on this par 3, making club selection absolutely critical. In typical conditions, expect to hit anything from a 6-iron to a 4-iron depending on wind and pin position. The target line should favor the center of the green, as the small putting surface leaves little room for error. Winged Foot's notorious rough awaits any shot that misses the target, so commit fully to your club choice and swing with confidence. Wind direction and strength will significantly impact club selection, so factor conditions carefully before making your decision.
Approach & recovery
Since this is a par 3, your approach strategy centers on green reading and pin hunting versus playing safe. When the pin is tucked, resist the temptation to fire directly at it - the small green means even a slight miss can leave you in deep rough with a nearly impossible recovery. Play to the fat part of the green and rely on your putting to get close. The green's subtle slopes and Winged Foot's typically firm conditions mean a shot that lands softly in the center gives you the best chance for birdie while avoiding bogey.
On the green
Winged Foot's greens are notoriously quick and subtle, and the 13th is no exception. Focus on speed control over line reading, as most putts will have less break than they appear. The small green means you're likely putting from relatively short distances, but don't let that fool you into being careless. Uphill putts should be struck firmly, while downhill putts require a delicate touch. Leave yourself below the hole when possible, as putting uphill on these greens is always preferable.
