The Club at Carlton Woods
The Woodlands, TX
Coming down the stretch, the closing hole at Mission Hills requires players to make a key decision down to finish their round. Water protecting the green forces every player to make a decision whether they are willing to take on the risk of going for the green in two.
Based on the location of their drive, players will have to weigh all factors when deciding whether to go for the green in two shots. Players who find the fairway on the closing hole are more than 2.5 times more likely to hit the green in two.
As the final hole at the first major championship of the year, this risk reward finale has decided this major championship throughout the years. Thirteen out of the last twenty editions of this championship have been decided by 1 stroke or in a playoff.
