TPC at Avenel Hole-by-Hole Guide
How Pros Play the Hole: Most players will be hitting 7-irons to 9-irons, depending on pin placement. While spectators will see a good share of birdies, they will watch players suffering through many bogeys and double bogeys as well. Most Troublesome Hazards: Bunker on the left side of the green. Pond in the front and on the right. Toughest Pin Placement: Back right part of the green. Fred Funk's Take: "Because of the elevation, it's just a guessing game up there. It seems like it's a pretty standard hole when the wind isn't blowing. But when the wind blows, it's very difficult because the ball is in the air for so long and you lose control of where that thing is going to end up. [The green] seems like a pretty big target down there, but it's not. There's so many things that can go wrong on that hole. Bail out away from the [water] and you end up on the left side, then you're really in trouble, especially anytime the pins are in the back. The front pins seem to be the easier pins. You can bail out long."
