A true risk and reward hole, the 13th at Shinnecock could yield plenty of birdies.

The shortest par-4 on the course offers a birdie opportunity, however, a wayward tee-shot can cost you. At 300-yards, the fairway narrows down to 16 yards across, and right next to that is a massive bunker.

The approach is tricky if not given enough attention too, with green-side bunkers and plenty of tough pin placements to navigate.

You will take a birdie here, but a par is not a bad score.
