Erin Hills Hole By Hole Guide: Hole 6
While it is true that a score of worse than 4 is unlikely, a 3 is definitely well earned.
A guide to the sixth hole at Erin Hills ahead of the 2017 US Open
Erin Hills Hole By Hole Guide: Hole 6
Hole 6 - Par 3 - 237 yards
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 |
The sixth hole provides the first par 3 of the round.
With its large green and apparent lack of defenses surrounding it, the 6th at first seems to be a breather, with a long iron being enough for the field to run the ball up towards the flag.
While it is true that a score of worse than 4 is unlikely, a 3 is definitely well earned.
