On many holes, I like to work my way back from the pin to the tee. But this isn’t one of them. From the fairway, the only ‘gettable’ pin is the Sunday flag, which the last couple of years has been middle right. Other than that, I’m playing to the centre of the green and looking for a two- putt par.

CAREER AVERAGE SCORE: 3.91

Unlike Bubba I’ll hit 3-wood to stay short of the sand. I can reach the green but I rarely try. I either hook it around the trees left and short when the pin is right, or flare it right of the right bunker if it’s left. Either one leaves a 40-yard pitch and a 10-footer for birdie at worst.

AVERAGE SCORE: 4.5

If the pin is toward the back of the green, I’ll hit driver. If it’s left or in the front, I’ll lay farther back to have a full shot with something that I can get up in the air and stop quickly. The green is a very tricky one for me. It runs hard right-to- left and a little towards the back as well.

AVERAGE SCORE: 3.67

Just like Bubba said, you hit to the centre of the green, take your two putts and get out of there! You’d take a par here every single time. The most ‘gettable’ pin during the week for me is just over the greenside bunker on the right where the ball can feed down towards the hole.

AVERAGE SCORE: 3.08

The pin is gettable if it’s front left, and if it’s back left I’m trying to get it in close. But if you miss, make sure you miss short. The right pin, I’m just trying to get it on the correct tier. Normally, it’s around a 7-iron. It’s a tough shot when the pin is in the front but if you pull it off you’re rewarded.

AVERAGE SCORE: 2.58
