Coming down the stretch, the 17th hole provides a scoring opportunity for the field, given players can avoid the water off the tee.
Players must decide what club to hit off the tee, with the left side of the fairway running out about 240 yards from the tee. Ending short of the water will leave around 200 yards into the green. Laying up can prove difficult as the third shot is a tough, blind shot with several plateaus.
Players who find the fairway are twice as likely to find the putting surface in two. This hole played a critical role for contenders in 2019, with top-10 finishers gaining nearly half-a-stroke on the field at hole 17 alone.
