Hole 14 - Par 3 - 235 yards

The first par-3 of the back nine measures 235-yards and usually plays down wind.

There are four bunkers to the right – two very large ones – and one bunker protecting the left side of the green.

It's a generous putting surface for a par-3 and if the players avoid the bunkers they should make par or better here.

Down the stretch with an Olympic medal on the line this should make for a very entertaining hole as we're sure to see birdies and bogeys.
