Golf Monthly takes an in-depth look at Pinehurst No.2 ahead of the 2014 US Open

Hole 7 – Par 4 – 424 yards

The most probable club choice for the tee of this par 4 is a 3-wood, hybrid or long iron allowing for a left to right tee shot. This hole features a severe dogleg right hole meaning that a right to left tee shot will arguably rapidly run out of fairway. The green is sheltered by a deep bunker located on the immediate front right. Pinehurst's 7th hole is a good opportunity for players to yield a birdie, but only if played strategically.
