HOLE IN FOCUS / No. 18
Generally recognized as one of the exceptional finishing holes played on the tour, this hole starts with a blind, uphill tee shot that can leave a long iron to the green. In 1974, Dave Stockton’s tee shot left him with a downhill lie in the left rough, 224 yards to the pin. He hit a three-wood to 12 feet and made the birdie putt to defeat Sam Snead and John Mahaffey by a shot. A commemorative plaque sits in the rough on the spot where he hit the shot.
