Nine hundred and sixty-four miles from Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., home of the TPC at Sawgrass's terrifying 17th par-3, a quarter-sized replica of the hole opened to the public Friday in Rockefeller Center.

To promote next week's Players Championship, the PGA and UBS invited the public to attempt a hole-in-one at the sized-down 17th, which translates to a 30-yard pitch shot from artificial turf.
