Philadelphia Cricket Club hosts for the first time PGA Tour.
Evan Schiller
For the first time in three years, PGA Tour has returned to Philadelphia The area and there are not much better settings.
WISSAHICKON CLUB OF FILEDELPIA CRICKET hosts The PGA Tour Truist Championship This week as a one -week stay for Quail Hollow Club, which will host the next week’s PGA Championship. Philly Cricket offers the rare chance of displaying the work of AW Tillinghast at the best of the game.
The course is unknown to most of today’s PGA Tour and Global Golf audience. The track of the golden age of 1922 was subjected to a 2014 Restoration by Keith Foster And she has been waiting for several Marquee events since then, including the 2015 PGA professional championship, the elderly constellation players 2016 and 2024 US amateur with four balls. The Cricket Club has three courses under its control, and even hosted two US Opens (1907 and 1910) in its original course, the now-9-Hole St. course. Martins in Chestnut Hill neighborhood.
Return of ‘Growth’ to the Wissahickon course of Philadelphia Cricket
Being connected and I have been a member of Cricket Philadelphia for 14 years, I have fallen around Wissahickon course Hundreds of times and have played from almost every country.
While Cricket prepares for the attention of the Global Golf for the first time in more than 100 years, here’s what I think will be the six most critical shooting in the Truist championship of this week.
Tee shot at no.8 (par-3, 240 yards)

Under its usual layout, I will describe Wissahickon as six holes in the intestine, followed by six holes of no-bars (aka holes you need to score), and finished with six other punches in the intestine.
The tournament organizers have chosen to reburden the Philly cricket for the Truist, however, it means that the players will start in the results holes and then grow in the boots for the rest of the round. While holes 6 and 7 (13 and 14 for members) are not cake walks, Gauntlet will really begin at par-3 8.
8 -This is a already This will challenge the players to hit anything from a tall iron on a street tree, using the right tar left of the green to get a ball nearby. A massive left bunker, from which the players cannot see green, will get most of the attention, but the right green side is the important side. A small short greenish green slope can grip the balls towards the right bunker and any stroke played on that side will be difficult to stop with green.
Tee shot at no. 10 (par-4, 449 yard)

Jack Harsh/Golf
In my opinion, this is one of the two hardest shooting in the course. This goes straight to the left.
The two bunkers on the left side should not be a factor for longer players, seeing as a 294 care removes them from playing with the predominant wind helping on the right shoulder. However, the shape here is important because the right side of the highway begins to bend to 261 yards, and it would be very difficult to take the tree on the left side. Start a little away to the right and you will run your ball straight and on the road.
Access to no. 11 (par-4, 487 yards)

After another goal that favors a right -handed shape to the left, unless the located fairways and the wind collects (usually toward the road), most players will play their second shooting from the top of the hill (photo above). Their approach will bypass the club and Lorrian leadership, the sole risk of water on all property. This hole is the 18th for regular play.
The heavy, steep green is clearly defined at two levels with a key that runs along the ridge line. No matter where the pin is, the careful game is to aim for the knob and to live with any direction the ball falls.
The most dangerous flag is the middle left pins to the highest level, as any one -sided short miss (included in the left bunker) will prove a difficult up and down.
The stroke plays about seven meters toward the abyss from the top of the hill.
Access to no. 15 (par-5, 553 yards)
;)
Jack Harsh/Golf
Both Par-5s will be accessible in two for almost everyone in the field, but the second will be all on the second shots.
Tilingast’s “big hazard” – a collage of bunkers that explode the right path to two 340 yards away from tee – will get a lot of attention, but will only enter the game if someone lacks fairway.
Although the green is 32 yards deep, anyone who wants an eagle basket will have to achieve a high approach to keep green. Short is better than long, as the green falls behind. The front bunker is not a bad miss. Expect the sand to take a lot of actions this week.
Tee shot at no. 16 (par-3, 215 yard)
;)
Jack Harsh/Golf
The last Par-3 in the course will be the last hole where the Lorrian run comes into play. The real danger here, however, is the severity of swollen greenery.
The three rear bunkers are deadly, and you do not want to be past with high pin in left or right bunkers.
Two shelves define this green on the back left and back right. I would be shocked if no pins are used on both those shelves.
Tee shot at no. 17 (par-4, 498 yard)
;)
Jack Harsh/Golf
Nr. 17 is one of the most compelling holes on the card, and is no longer personally. PAR-4 second the second plays typically, but it is about everything you have gone for you.
The right bunker requires a 292-yard carrier, while the front of the left bunker is 305. A wire shot moving from left to right helps to expand this corridor, but push it a little away and you bring the old abandoned abandonment tribe.
An ordinary miss (at least in a simple death) is an attraction to the left of the left bunker, but that leaves a very difficult angle for an uphill second that plays throughout the green cant.
