Merion hole-by-hole guide: 13th hole

A look at the course of the 2013 US Open, Merion in Pennsylvania

13th Hole

Merion Golf Club

13th - 115 yards, par 3

A small par 3 and an even smaller green, players will expect a birdie but it's not that simple. The green is well contoured and a huge bunker fronts the green.
