In a remarkable move, Daffue decided to take a calculated risk and play the hole as it is. A tree stood right in the front, while a fence was present on the right. Ultimately, Daffue made it 294 yards up the rough, avoiding any plausible damage.

“It couldn’t be in a better spot guys,” said on-course reporter Arron Oberholser. “It’s just past the bunker, in the rough, pretty decent lie to almost a good lie, all the green in the world to work with up the hill.”
