Hole Guide

The second hole was converted from a par 5 to a par 4 for the 2000 US Open, and remains this way for the 2010 event. As well as being incredibly long to reach in regulation, the second hole demands a straight tee shot to a fairway as narrow as 30 yards, as well as a good putting stroke on a green that is deceptively fast. The narrow green is also guarded on each side by two long, deep bunkers.
