The odd shaped *game map* made me curious first go around; then I saw this article. So what gives?
Two sets of tees on one hole? Two sets of tees on one hole.
Again, here’s Bacon, who played the course during Monday’s media day:
The par-3 ninth hole has two different sets of tees, and while you sit at home thinking, What’s so different about that, understand that one tee plays dramatically downhill to a green with bunkers guarding all parts of the right side and the other tee is an uphill carry of some 240 yards. It is two holes in one, something you’ve never seen before on a golf course and definitely never seen before in a major championship.
