TPC at Avenel Hole-by-Hole Guide
How Pros Play the Hole: Most will be hitting 3-woods from the tee box. Second shots will be hit with either 5-, 6- or 7-irons. Birdies are possible on this hole, but players who find the deep bunker will be scrambling just to save par. Most Troublesome Hazards: Deep bunker on the left front side of the green. Toughest Pin Placement: Left side and close to the deep bunker. Fred Funk's Take: "If the hole is downwind, guys aren't hitting drivers because you can hit it too far. Your ball runs through out of fairway. Into the wind, you're trying to get it as far out there as you can, setting yourself up for a really key second shot. There's a real, real deep bunker down there in the front. You're best bet there is to be long, if anything. You just definitely don't want to be short. If you happen to miss the fairway, you're laying up. There's plenty of room to hit the fairway, but don't miss what it gives you."
