2020 U.S. Open Flyover: Twelfth Hole At Winged Foot

At 633 yards with a giant tree blocking the way for players trying to get home in two, we might have an actual three-shotter on our hands. Winged Foot West’s 12th bends to the left and even after a stock 330-yard drive does open up a view of the beautifully restored putting surface.

Note the roll 2/3rds of the way through the green where the surface goes away from the player. A very different twist on a course where many greens slope steeply back to front.

The 633-yard, par-5 12th at Winged Foot is the longest hole on the course. Clearing an 80-foot-tall tree at the turn of the dogleg with the second shot is imperative to allow a clear view of the green.
