Merion hole-by-hole guide: 15th hole

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

15th Hole

Merion Golf Club

15th - 411 yards, par 4

Out of bounds threatens from the left side of the fairway, but players will favour a cut on this dogleg right. A green characterised by its many humps and bumps will make birdie an exceptional result on this hole.
