Golf Hole 9, 34th Ryder Cup 2002

Ryder Cup 2002

Hole 9

Hole 9, Par 4, 433 Yards, 396 Metres

A really good hole off the new back tee. Lengthening the bunker on the left of the fairway by some 15 yards is meant to dissuade even the big hitters from trying to carry it and leave an untroubled second shot into the green. Now they feel forced to go out right, keeping as close to the bunker as they dare, and then take a seven iron approach over the lake to a small, steeply sloping green. Miss it and getting up and down in two is not a prospect to relish.
