Video: Chambers Bay Seventeenth Hole Flyover
/The penultimate hole is listed at 172-218 yards but the right portion of the green features an elevated shelf that appears difficult to hit with a longer club, which is why there is a suspicion that we'll see a shortened hole played more from this angle:
That yardage is 119 yards and quite the tantalizing view at a right hole.
As for the rest of the green, it's not my favorite at Chambers Bay. The best greens, even the most complex, allow a player to remember key features and work shots off of those contours. Here the movement feels random in a way that champions chance more than skill.
