The plan for No. 10
Make the second-shot landing area a decision of its own.
Off the tee
Keep the drive on short grass so the next shot can be planned by position rather than recovery.
Approach & recovery
Locate the left fairway bunker before choosing a layup. Use a current distance from your ball; a historical tour estimate is not a personal carry number.
On the green
Once the ball is on the green, read the last portion of the putt as carefully as the first. A sensible layup should leave room to choose a broad approach target.
Watch for
- Left fairway bunker
- Sandy fairway edges
