Course

Hole 5 Go to 6 Go to 4

Five — 515 Yards, Par 5

This is relatively short for a par 5 by today's standards, and the start of a three-hole stretch with realistic birdie chances. It's one of the tougher tee shots on the course, with the landing area slanting to the right on a hole that bends to the left. Two bunkers on the right at 284 yards and just over 300 yards. Both sides of the green are protected by bunkers.

Major Moment

Arnold Palmer was leading by one in the third round of the '74 U.S. Open. He pulled his tee shot into the trees, then decided to play out to the fourth fairway. His 3-wood caught the top of the trees and dropped down, leading to bogey. He lost his lead and never got it back.
