The plan for No. 14
The 14th at Chambers Bay Golf Course is a 521.0-yard par 4 that plays straightaway.
Off the tee
Driver is the clear choice for nearly all golfers on this hole, as maximizing distance is crucial to leaving a manageable approach shot. Aim down the center of the fairway with a slight draw bias to add extra roll. The straight layout and lack of major hazards allow for an aggressive swing, but maintain good tempo to ensure solid contact. Even with a well-struck drive, most players will face a lengthy approach, making every yard off the tee valuable. Focus on your normal swing rather than trying to overpower the shot, as accuracy remains important for the optimal approach angle.
Approach & recovery
Expect to hit anything from a long iron to a fairway wood into this small green, depending on your driving distance and conditions. The compact target demands precision over power, so take one extra club and swing smoothly rather than forcing a shot. Aim for the center of the green regardless of pin position, as the small surface leaves little margin for error. Consider the wind carefully at Chambers Bay, as the exposed location can significantly affect club selection. If you're between clubs, always take the longer option to ensure you reach the putting surface.
On the green
The small green size means most putts will be relatively short, but don't underestimate the subtle breaks that characterize Chambers Bay's putting surfaces. Take time to read the grain and slope carefully, as even seemingly straight putts can have movement. Focus on pace control, as the compact surface means running putts past the hole can leave difficult comebacks. When the pin is tucked near an edge, aim for the fat part of the green and accept a longer putt rather than risk missing the surface entirely.
