Hole 11 – White Dogwood
Published: Last updated:
PAR 4 – 505 YARDS
They’ve added a lot of trees on the right making this a lot tighter and the second shot is about 10 yards downhill which represents about a half a club to a club difference.
The front left pin is very dangerous because there are two big humps just short and if you don’t carry it far enough it tends to hit those. If someone is playing well, he can win with a grandma pulling their trolley, but a caddie gets paid for doing a job and you have to do a job round this course.
You’ve got to make your player aware, especially if he hasn’t got the experience here, you have to make him aware of where he needs to be and what he has to do.
Darren Clarke – “One of the toughest holes you will play all year, especially with it playing long now. For me, a great, fantastic hole; the toughest at Augusta. You need to go left off the tee but not too far or you hit trouble. You have a demanding second shot; with the water left and modifications you have lost your bail out shot right because they’ve raised the right side of the green. If you make par here it almost feels like a birdie.”
