The skinny:
Donald Ross once called the second shot on this hole the hardest in golf. Another blind landing area, and the fairway falls off to the left. As far right as possible opens up the green to a long iron approach. Green is subtle, but not severe.

Andy North says:
This hole is an absolute bear. It's an awkward drive because the fairway slopes. You shoot uphill, and then the fairway goes down and away from you over a little ridge. Then the fairway slopes dramatically from right to left. Any ball hit down the left-center of the fairway will bounce into the rough. If you can make four pars on this hole for the week, you'll be buying your buddies drinks. It's so hard, the most difficult hole almost every time a tournament has been held on Pinehurst No. 2.
