Hole 15 - Par 4 - 405 points

The fifteenth at Hazeltine is a par 4 that will see plenty of birdies.

For most it will be a 3 wood or hybrid and then a mere flick to the green.

The Dustin Johnsons of this world may choose to have a pop at the green if the tees are moved forward. The fairway does slope downhill so a great drive may receive a big kick on.

It ranked as 15th hardest in the 2009 USPGA and in the heat of the moment coming down the stretch at a Ryder Cup, you have to feel that par just won't be good enough here.
