A great par five that tempts players to cut the corner. With out of bounds on the right, the risk outweighs the rewards. A shot avoiding the bunker on the right will leave the longer hitter a chance to reach this green in two and shorter hitters a better angle to lay up.

Stay left of the temptation. The scramble advantage comes from two balls safely in position.
