The plan for No. 4
The 4th at Chambers Bay Golf Course is a 568.0-yard par 5 that plays straightaway.
Off the tee
Your opening shot should prioritize finding the fairway and setting up the ideal angle for your second shot. Driver is the obvious choice for most players to maximize distance on this lengthy hole, but accuracy remains paramount. Aim for the center of the fairway to give yourself the best possible lie and angle for your layup shot. The straight layout means you can be aggressive with your target line, but don't sacrifice accuracy for an extra 10-15 yards of distance.
Approach & recovery
This hole typically plays as a three-shot par 5 for most golfers. Your second shot becomes crucial for positioning - aim for a comfortable wedge distance that gives you the best angle into the small green. Laying up to around 80-100 yards provides optimal spin control and precision for your third shot. When attacking the green, focus on the center of the putting surface rather than chasing pins near the edges. The small green size makes precision more important than proximity to the flag.
On the green
With a small green, your primary focus should be getting the ball safely on the putting surface. Once there, expect subtle breaks typical of links-style courses, with the prevailing wind potentially affecting longer putts. Take time to read the green carefully, as the compact surface means even small misreads can leave you with challenging comeback putts. Focus on solid contact and proper pace rather than trying to make everything.
