  If it is the pin location near the bunker...for me..the right play is to put it in the bunker...aim couple yards left...and if you don't almost hole it out...you'll be left w/ a very manageable putt for par..more times than not.....I've just pretty much accepted birdie on that hole is very rare...and keep it pushin......gdub

  I've managed to get to Legend but I don't think I have ever birdied 9 at Oakmont. In fact I bogey many more times than par. Anyone with tips on how to play that hole, especially with the pin short and right (as I seem to find it mostly), I would be most grateful.

  I think whole Oakmont should be mapped again...if you dont get just proper line for drives, its always on trees...not funny.

  1) Grats on the 8 year old necro post.

  2) I think you meant Olympic not Oakmont.

  other than those two things. Quality post.
