The plan for No. 4
Allow for the fairway's tilt before deciding how aggressively to advance.
Off the tee
Favor the left portion of the fairway, allowing for the ball's movement after landing rather than aiming at the final resting point.
Approach & recovery
Opposing bunkers restrict the later route. Choose the next shot from your actual lie and the selected tee's par, which can differ from tournament setups.
On the green
Identify a landing patch with room around it. Do not let a narrow approach corridor turn into an attack on an edge flag.
Watch for
- Opposing bunkers
- Sloping fairway
- Native sandy margins
