Hole nine

Published:

PAR 4
432 YARDS

How it plays: This sharp dog-leg breaks left quite early, making 3-wood or hybrid the choice from the tee. The second shot is uphill, to a well protected green. Par can win here.

Local knowledge: The 9th green is another of Medinah’s slickest surfaces, with quite a hard break from right-to-left. Again, it’s important to leave the approach below the cup.

Michael J. Scully, PGA Director of Golf, Medinah Country Club: “A great dogleg left that presents somewhat of a blind shot off the tee, and in today’s game will require a 3-wood, or hybrid. Hugging the right side here will leave you an uphill look at a well-bunkered green that breaks fast from right-to-left. Take your par here, and run to the 10th tee.”
