#9 Pinehurst No. 2, 2014 U.S. Open Championship & U.S. Open Women’s Championship

This uphill par-3 appears deceptively straightforward until you factor in Donald Ross’s signature crowned green, which acts like a natural fortress against imperfect shots. What makes this hole truly special is how it rewards precision while punishing the slightest miscalculation – balls that miss the target find themselves in the surrounding collection areas.
