The plan for No. 9
The 9th at Chambers Bay Golf Course is a 227.0-yard par 3 that plays straightaway.
Off the tee
Club selection is paramount on this hole - most golfers will need anywhere from a 4-iron to a 3-wood depending on conditions and personal distance. Commit fully to your club choice and swing aggressively through impact. Aim for the center of the green regardless of pin position, as the small target demands a conservative approach to your aiming point. Take one extra club if there's any doubt, as coming up short on a long par-3 often leads to difficult up-and-down situations.
Approach & recovery
Since this is a par-3, your tee shot IS your approach. Focus on creating a high, soft-landing ball flight that will hold the small green. Check wind conditions carefully - even a moderate breeze can significantly affect a shot of this length. If the pin is tucked to one side, resist the temptation to chase it unless you're feeling particularly confident with your distance control.
On the green
The small green size means you'll likely face relatively short putts if you find the putting surface. However, the green's compact nature can create subtle breaks that are easy to misread. Take time to study the overall slope and grain direction. Two-putt pars are excellent scores here, so prioritize lag putting to avoid three-putts that can derail your round.
