Hole 16 – Redbud
Published: Last updated:
PAR 3 – 170 YARDS
It’s two greens within a green. The middle to back right half is a plateau that’s only five yards wide and anything landing on the ridge moves to the left edge.
There’s a chance of a hole-in-one to the left-sided pins, but if you leave the ball high right, then you can’t keep the putt on the green; it’ll always end up in the fringe.
Jim Furyk – “Like every hole at Augusta it really depends on pin placement as to what you do here. If in doubt, just hit it at the middle of the green and you will always have an uphill putt for birdie. It can be as little as a 9i or as much as a 6i, depending on the wind, and the green is pretty deep. What you don’t want to do, if the pin is back left, is leave the ball up on the right. When the pin is right, you never want to make the mistake of missing the green right because you have very little chance of getting up and down.”
