The skinny: Hill on the right and severe downhill slope compensates for extreme length. A well-placed, drawn tee shot can set up short iron into a shaded green that can be the fastest on the course. Anything right will get caught up in the second cut and require a longer shot.
Andy North's analysis: Traditionally, this is one of the toughest holes on the course. If you don't hit a perfect drive, you'll need a wood or a long iron. The hole plays uphill and gives players a lot of trouble. If you drive the ball down the left half of the fairway you catch the downslope and the ball will roll 50 yards.
