Met Open - Live From the Five and Dime Hole

-Billy Condon

Home-pro David Reasoner of Ridgewood went for the green off the tee and ended up in the greenside bunker to the right of the green. He faced the same bunker shot that Hunter Mahan dunked at the 2008 Barclays. Reasoner ended up making par on the hole.

Although more players have decided to hit iron off the tee than driver, the advantage is not necessarily paying off. With the front hole location, many players are finding themselves spinning the ball off the front of the green into the fringe, and sometimes the rough. Anthony Aruta found his approach shot come to rest in the rough just short of the green and wound up making bogey.
