Hole 4 – Flowering Crab Apple
Published: Last updated:
PAR 3 – 240 YARDS
Seve used to hit a 5 or 4-iron here, but the hole is longer now and they’re hitting small woods sometimes.
It’s a very severe green with a big ridge. It’s hard to stop the ball on the correct tier. It’s very fast from the right to the left and it never breaks as much as you think to the back left pin.
Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano – “I know this is stating the obvious but it’s a very long and tough par 3 from the back tee. In practice I’ve been hitting 5-wood. If they move the tee up, which they probably will at least once this week, I’ll hit something like a 5 iron. The only target you should have in mind is the middle of the green. If you can keep the ball below the hole, then so much the better.”
