BE READY FOR A SHIFT

I can see Mike Davis, the USGA executive director who is in charge of course setup, utilising two or more tee boxes on this hole. It’s listed to play at 434 or 464 yards. The prevailing wind is against, so from the back tee most players will play to here. From this rise, the approach is about 175 yards with the left portion of the green hidden. But shift the markers up a box or two, and even shorter hitters would be tempted to play more to the right.
