I don’t try to get too fancy with the tee shot. I usually hit 3-wood. It’s been more successful for me to get a hook around the corner. I then have a long iron in and a big decision as to whether I go for it or not. It’s a very tough shot. Anywhere on that green and you’ve conquered the hole. AVERAGE SCORE: 4.42

I aim down the right centre and turn it over. It’s a crazy green but you can make birdie because the ball feeds down to the hole from the left. Miss on the wrong tier and you leave a difficult putt.I prefer to miss right. Miss left and the ball will go straight down the hill. It won’t stop. AVERAGE SCORE: 3.92

My favourite hole. We’ll see the back left pin on Thursday or Friday, then we’ll see it towards the middle on Sunday. I try to keep the ball below the hole on all of them. The back right pin is tough to birdie but it’s an easy par because if I’m down the ridge I know the speed and line. AVERAGE SCORE: 3.0

Driver down the middle, find where the pin is and hit in to that side. On back left pins I want to get all the way back because the green goes downhill. It’s easier to miss long and chip back up to the hole than face a downhill 20-footer. The uphill right pin is still wicked fast. AVERAGE SCORE: 4.5

I try to hit a left-to- right tee shot and fade it off the bunker. Again, I want to know where the pin is so I can get at it from the best angle. I really just want to hit it in the centre of the green either on the bottom or top shelf. If I’m on the right level I can make birdie from any of the pins. AVERAGE SCORE: 4.0
