Video: Erin Hills Thirteenth Hole Flyover
/I realize in posting these we take some of this information for granted, but after speaking to a few qualifiers Monday in Newport Beach, these flyovers provide an important scouting tool. Part of their usefulness is thanks to the unknown venue, and some relates to just getting a sense of what lies ahead.
Anyway, players educting themselves is another fascinating element of this year's U.S. Open, which features a 193-yard, par-3 13th playing over a wetland. The hole features a large bunker left and crowned green edge on the right. A prominent swale should make things fun and for those pitching up to the large green or just trying to land and hold shots.
You can get a good look at the green complex in the USGA's flyover.
