Excellently placed hole to influence the outcome. Poorly designed to reward players.one could argue that Aberg's attempt from 220 on Sunday was the most consequential decision of the tournament.
is that mean the hole is poorly designed, or well designed?
As @MWard mentioned, then make the green more receptive. Having long irons into a par 4 isn't my favorite idea, but a well designed long par 4 has a receptive green that's designed to hold those long irons. That green is not.Forcing the best players on the planet to hit mid irons into some holes is a good thing.
Letting them hit wedges and nine irons all the time is not. They have a nice mix on that course.
ANGC has a bunch of par four holes where guys can make 3, or they can make a six or seven. That makes them good holes in my book.
