The Mood For Merion, 6th Hole Flyover

The 6th hole aerial flattens out some of the nice ground features on a hole that'll play 487 yards for the 2013 U.S. Open. With the reduced widths, the tee shot is a forced carry over rough and maybe not even a driver.

Looking back on an old magazine feature covering Bobby Jones' medal rounds here in the 1930 U.S. Amateur, the great Jones hit 2-iron in when the hole played at 442 yards.
