Hole 7 at Oakland Hills
411 yards, par four

By Ken Brown
BBC TV golf commentator

There is water all the way down the right-hand side of this hole and it is quite a tricky tee shot.

There are three bunkers down the left of a fairway that kicks you a lot from left to right towards that water.

Although if the ball is kept short of about 250 yards and pushed out to the right then it is possible to avoid the water.

With the second shot, the ball is below your feet which means there is a tendency to push the shot out to the right where there is a big long bunker.

The approach is a bit uphill as well and does not give you a great view of the flag so it is best not to attack the hole or the narrow green.
