Video: The Mood For Merion, 17th Hole Flyover
/Merion's par-3 17th isn't particuarly interesting in a strategic way, but the setting and features make it a thrilling looking hole. The early photos have shown some huge grandstands surrounding the green, so it should make for a wild atmosphere as Stricker, Clark, Furyk and Spieth battle down the stretch.
Also note the back tee on No. 18 and how close it is to the bunkers and a wayward shot on a 246-yarder.
