Today on Golf Channel, we delve into the treacherous waters of the par three ninth hole at Erin Hills, a deceptively short yet devilishly challenging course. This hole, known as a "tweener," is a mere 140 yards but packs a punch like a heavyweight boxer on a diet of raw meat. Players like Nelly Corder and Paige McKenzie paint a vivid picture of the green's diabolical nature, with slopes that could make a mountain goat dizzy and bunkers deeper than a philosophical discussion at a wine tasting.
In the 2017 US Open, this hole showed its teeth, playing over par and leaving players scratching their heads in bewilderment. The key to conquering this beast? Precision, nerve, and a touch of madness. As the wind whispers sweet nothings across the fairway, choosing the right club becomes a Herculean task, separating the men from the boys and the contenders from the pretenders.
Brooks Kepka's calculated approach to this hole stands as a testament to the respect it demands, opting for the safe route and avoiding the siren song of the pin. The ninth hole's allure lies not in its length, but in its ability to torment and tantalize, promising drama and heart-stopping moments for players and spectators alike. So, as the US Women's Open unfolds, keep a keen eye on this short yet formidable foe, for it may very well decide the fate of champions and the downfall of the unwary.
