US Open 2016 Oakmont Country Club: Hole 7
Hole 7 - Par 4 - 479 yards
The seventh is an extremely tough hole where players will rejoice in making a four.
It's a similar story off the tee here with bunkers protecting either side of the fairway making accuracy a premium, whilst most will have to hit driver because of the hole's length.
The green slopes from left-to-right so the right-hand bunkers will be a popular miss.
