The plan for No. 2

A drive placed left makes the diagonal green easier to approach.

Off the tee

Favor the left half without chasing the margin. Plan the landing area for your normal shot shape.

Approach & recovery

The front-right bunker takes away part of the direct route. From the right, allow more room inside that guarded edge.

On the green

Use the putting surface beyond the front-right sand as the target, then judge the day's pace from where the ball finishes.

Watch for

  • Front-right bunker
  • Angled green
  • Sandy fairway margins
