  I think he meant the 2 (par 5s), rather than the #2 hole.  The second par 5 on BPB is unreachable from the Legend tees in two without a cannon.  And #5, now, even from the Legend tees, I can often stay on the green if I land on the front of it.  The Burner 2.0 Irons made it possible for me.  #7 I can almost always reach with 3W or 3 or 4 iron.  It's a long par 4, but to me it would be a too-easy par 5.

  I didn't say or mean the 2nd hole but the 2 par 5's at BPB which plays to a par of 70 for the US Open.    In terms of hole #7 the left back pin position is pretty accessible from even the legend tees without a huge wind into you.  The front right pin is difficult, almost unfair but you can still play to the middle of the green in two and have 25 feet without a lot of trouble.
