Par 5, 535 Yards

Like all the par 5 holes at the National, this one can be reached in two but the fairway bunker must be avoided. The new green, which nearly duplicates the original one, which was changed in 1956, puts some spice into the hole.


David Cannon / Allsport
A typical long-hitter's hole, No 8. is reachable in two if the drive clears the fairway bunker on the right. From there, try to avoid the back-right corner of the green; a tough putt to make.
