“You put it — if you don’t put it in the correct spot, you’re going to be in a lot of trouble,” revealed Brooks. “It can be very difficult. I know, I mean, I didn’t hit a good tee shot, and that chip is still tough short of the green to any of those back pins. Anything on the left side is difficult enough, and the ball seems to always run away.”

Furthermore, Brooks said even if one bails out off the tee shot, the approach shot is not the easiest on this hole. It can easily go downhill running towards the water. And hence, the defending champion Koepka says he is a huge fan of this hole. “I’m a big fan of that hole. I love it,” concluded Brooks.

Meanwhile, Brooks will now tee off his round three with Theegala and Schauffele. And undoubtedly, he will be hopeful of performing well and retaining the trophy.
