Golf Monthly takes an in-depth look at Pinehurst No.2 ahead of the 2014 US Open

Hole 3 - Par 4 - 387 yards

A majority of players will fall just short of the bunker that is situated on the right of the fairway, if they play from the regular tee. Players who drive to the green when playing from the forward tee will need to shape a left to right tee shot due to the densely populated trees and bunkers on the right hand side of the fairway. The green sits up in the air, therefore a miss in any direction will find players struggling to make par at Pinehurst's 3rd hole.
