Hole 7 – Pampas
Published: Last updated:
PAR 4 – 450 YARDS
Always used to be a 2-iron and a sand wedge, now it’s a driver and a 7-iron.
The green is designed for a wedge because it’s 12 yards deep on the right and 18 deep in the middle. The last place you want to be is the back right bunker. The front right bunkers are not too bad.
Louis Oosthuizen – “A three wood off the tee has been my game plan every year. From there you are going in with a 7, 8 iron and on rare occasions, 9. You are trying to stick that approach shot in the middle of the green because from there it slopes both left and right. It is a very tough green. If you hit a good approach, a 3 is on but I don’t think you stand on any tee on this course and think it is a ‘chance’ hole.”
