Baltusrol Golf Club Hole by Hole Guide: Hole 6

A guide to the sixth hole on Baltusrol Golf Club's Lower Course which hosts the 98th USPGA Championship

Hole 6 - Par 4 - 482 yards

The long par-4 sixth sees players hit a blind tee shot over a hogs back between two well-placed bunkers.

With the hogs back, long hitters will benefit from a kick off the downslope so don't be surprised to see the likes of Bubba Watson and Jason Day hitting pitching wedge in here.

The green features two bunkers running either side of the green but a good drive will leave a mid to long iron in for most who should have no trouble making par.
