Golf Monthly takes an in-depth look at Pinehurst No.2 ahead of the 2014 US Open

Hole 5 – Par 5 – 576 yards

This par 5 hole is not only considered the toughest green to hit but is all the most difficult to putt. This hole also played as a par 4 in previous US Opens at Pinehurst with its dogleg left hole. If players hit a good tee shot, there is a good chance that golfers will have the opportunity to get to the green in two shots. However players are met with a downhill-sidehill lie for the second shot due to the angle of the fairway.
