Medinah Country Club hole-by-hole: hole 10
A hole-by-hole guide to Medinah Country Club's #3 course in Chicago, host of the 39th Ryder Cup from September 28-30
Hole 10 Par 5 578 yards
The 10th is long par 5, but can be reached with two big hits. If you intend to take the green on, drives should be worked off the right hand fairway bunkers, but many will play short of them with a 3-wood and lay-up with their second. The green is slightly raised and slopes severely from back-to-front.
