Hole 13, Par 3

The 13th is a rendition of the classic hill-to-hill par 3. In this case, the player’s eyes are drawn to the expansive bunker left of the green, to which a swale in the left side of the green directs balls. However, the fall-away short, right and behind the green cannot be ignored or looked at as safe places to miss the green. In the final round of the 2017 U.S. Open, Brooks Koepka’s par save from right of the green proved to be crucial as it inspired him to birdie the next three holes.
