"I've done average. I don't know anyone who
has a brilliant history there. I've hit it in the
water more times than near the hole. I think
everybody has. It's just about trying to hit into a
portion of the green where the flag is. You just try
to make a good, clean pass at it. I've hit as much as a
7-iron when it plays into the wind. The tee shot is
twice as hard as the shot from the drop area, but
getting it close from the drop-zone is not easy. My
low is birdie. My high is probably a double. "I'd be
surprised if there's a player who hasn't made a
double there. It's not a great hole of golf, nothing
special about its design, it's just unique from a
penalty point of view. It's a hole of consequences.
If you don't hit the right shot, you pay for it. You're
happy to make a 4. Where else would you be happy
to make a 4 after missing the green from 134 yards?
"The more times you play it the more you
focus and knuckle down on what you
have to do to hit the ball in that position."
