Hole 14 - Par 4 - 430 yards
This slight dogleg-left played as the second-easiest hole at the 2005 USPGA.
The long hitters will be able to take it over the two bunkers on the left which will cut the corner and leave just a mere flick in.
Shorter hitters will opt to play right of the bunkers to leave a longer second shot in which will also be slightly blind.
The green is heavily bunkered with five large traps surrounding the putting surface so any poor approaches will be punished.
