The plan for No. 11
The 11th at Chambers Bay Golf Course is a 500.0-yard par 4 that plays straightaway.
Off the tee
The key is finding the optimal balance between distance and accuracy. Most golfers should favor a controlled driver or strong 3-wood, aiming for the center of the fairway to maximize options for the approach. The target line should account for your natural ball flight - if you typically draw the ball, aim slightly right of center and vice versa. Avoid the temptation to swing out of your shoes; a smooth, controlled swing that finds the fairway is far more valuable than maximum distance that ends up in the rough.
Approach & recovery
With the green's small size, precision trumps power on your second shot. From a good drive position, you'll likely face a mid-iron to long-iron depending on conditions and pin placement. Focus on the center of the green regardless of pin position - the compact target makes aggressive pin-hunting a low-percentage play. Take one extra club and make a smooth swing rather than forcing a shorter iron. Pay attention to wind conditions, as they'll have significant impact on club selection for this longer approach shot.
On the green
The small green demands respect with your putting approach. Focus on lag putting to the correct level, as three-putts can quickly turn a well-played hole into a disappointing score. Read the overall slope carefully, as subtle breaks can be deceiving on a smaller surface. When the pin is tucked near an edge, prioritize getting your approach putt to the fat part of the green rather than being overly aggressive.
