Hole Diagram

17th Hole Header Graphic

Description: The wind and pin placement will come into play on this hole. A lake guards the right side of a green that is difficult to putt because of undulations.

How Pros Play the Hole: Players will be hitting 4-irons to 6-irons on this hole, depending on the wind and pin location. Any shot hit short will risk hitting the water. Putting on this green could make or break a player's chance to win.

Most Troublesome Hazards: Pond on the right. Undulating green.

Toughest Pin Placement: Close to the water, from the middle to the back on the right side.

Fred Funk's Take: "A lot of drama here. You're really battered by whatever wind conditions there are. You're elevated. You've got the lake in the lake in the front and the big bunker in the back. There's a lot of drama on that hole as far as the way the tournaments have unfolded."
