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

Hole 9 - Par 3 - 191 yards

The second of the par 3 holes at Pinehurst will see players with an almost guaranteed bogey if they miss the green long and left. The hole therefore requires an extremely precise shot to the green. The course is divided into two defined sections. From the tee the back left section gives the allusion of difficult, however that area of the green is fairly flat. The front right of the green however has a distinctive slope.
