Hazeltine National Golf Club Course Guide: Hole 13

Hole 13 - Par 3 - 248 yards

After a 606 yard par 5 and a 518 yard par 4, it's now time for a 248 yard par 3.

This ranked as the third hardest hole during the 2009 USPGA and it's easy to see why.

For the shorter hitters it may be anything up to a 3-wood into a green with water left and two bunkers guarding a narrow entrance.

During the 2006 US Amateur, Richie Ramsay played this hole six times bogey-free on his way to winning the title.
