The PAR-4 short are some of the most interesting golf holes. The nature of rewarding the risk of going for green from tee makes them watch holes and offer many opportunities for low numbers if executed properly.
This week during We openPar-4 17 fits the bill. In only 312 yards on the score card, OakmontThe penultimate hole will play a crucial role in setting the champion coming Sunday afternoon.
Before the SH.BA, Cisco Ambassadors Patrick Cantlay And Jessica Korda walked into the hole to discuss the best way to attack this complex Par-4.
When it comes to the decision between going to green and throwing back, Cantlay says there is not much debate.
“I would probably hit the driver most of the time,” he says. “If it was not really down or really in the wind. You can hit a 3-drru if reached the right number, or if the driver may not be able to cover that left side.”
But while Cantlay will plan to hit the driver most days, he will not shout in mind. Having the right angle in this weak green will be of great importance.
“Actually not very different with the 10th in Riv (Iera Country Club),” Cantlay says. “You want to put it on the left side that comes out in green because the green is relatively heavy. If you can get it at that correct angle by raising the green, I think that’s the best way to play the hole.”
