Golfers should be mindful of local weather conditions when playing this hole; altitude, temperature and wind can all affect ball flight here in Oakmont, Pennsylvania 15139 - especially in winter months where temperatures can dip below freezing point. A tee shot to this green requires accuracy over power - due to its relatively short distance from either tee box (183/153/139/129 yards) golfers may opt for an iron or wedge off the tee rather than driver depending on their skill level and club distances (e.g., 7-iron ~140 yards & pitching wedge ~120 yards). The greenside bunkers are particularly tricky so players should take care to avoid them by hitting their approach shots accurately onto the green surface itself.
