This sweeping par five is extremely well defended and sets the tone for what’s to come on the back nine. The drive should be aimed at the left side of the fairway. The second shot requires the player to decide which second landing area is preferred, short of the dominant fairway bunkering on the left or beyond. Depending on the location of the player's second shot, the rim bunkers might come into play, which are perilously placed along the edge of the crater protecting the green.
