TPC at Avenel Hole-by-Hole Guide
How Pros Play the Hole: A player's tee shot must land on the left side of the fairway for a chance at reaching the green. Most pros will be shooting for the green with anything from a 3-iron to a 3-wood. Most Troublesome Hazards: The creek fronting the green. Toughest Pin Placement: Front right of the green. Fred Funk's Take: "Another hole that really has a lot of options. You've got to keep it down the left side off the tee and hit it long. That opens up the hole for the second shot because of that overhanging tree [on the right side]. That tree is the key on that hole. It seems to be a catcher's mitt up there. ... It's just one of those holes that teases you to go for it. There's just a very small margin of error there. The green is so narrow and the creek is right there. You'll see eagles on that hole and you'll see double bogeys on that hole. It's a pretty exciting hole to watch. It's probably the best spectator hole."
