US Open 2016 Oakmont Country Club: Hole 16

The 16th requires a long iron or hybrid for the professionals into a green that slopes from left-to-right.

Expect to see many hitting from the front-right bunker where a sandy par is possible.

However from the left-hand bunkers, with the green running away from you, a bogey is likely.

The winner may well be the player who pars this whilst his competitors make four.
