As players head back towards the clubhouse before the turn, the 9this very much a scoreable hole. It is essential to hit the open fairway off the tee with a potentially blocked second shot with a tree 100 yards short of the green if a player is too far right. Compared to the other greens at Whistling Straits, the 9this quite narrow making the backend of this hole tricky. Seven Mile Creek to the right and dunes to the left create a tight aiming location for the approach shot.
