The plan for No. 14
The crowned target makes a controlled approach worth more than squeezing out the longest possible drive.
Off the tee
Use the fairway bunkers to define the stopping zone. Leave yourself a shot from grass with a clear view of the green.
Approach & recovery
Keep long and right out of the intended miss. A target inside those edges gives a small error more room to remain on the surface.
On the green
The green falls toward the fairway. A rearward finish can leave a fast return putt, so plan where the approach should stop.
Watch for
- Fairway bunkers
- Crowned green
- Right and rear falloffs
