Hole 6 Go to 7 Go to 5

Six — 321 Yards, Par 4

The shortest par 4, and perhaps most exciting hole at Winged Foot. Depending on the hole location and wind, some players might try to drive the kidney-shaped green that is guarded by a deep bunker in the front and a stream that meanders to the left and behind the green. The rough will be exceptionally deep on his hole. Decisions could lead to a birdie or bogey.

Major Moment

Bill Melhorn appeared to be on his way to winning the 1929 U.S. Open until taking an 11. He never recovered.
