Hole 6
Par 3, 180 Yards
An elevated tee looks down on this hole with a giant hump at the right of the green. The pin position at the top of the hump is one of the most difficult on the course.

How Ian Woosnam plays this hole
1. You're not trying to get past the pin -- that is one of the most important things.
2. When the pin is on the back right side, up on the little mound there, it's one of the hardest shots in golf because you're only talking about five yards of area. When you're standing up there on the tee and one minute the wind is blowing and the next it isn't, the club selection is very difficult to get right.
3. If the pin is front left it's the easiest. You can fly it just past the flag and get a little spin on it and come back down to the hole.
Historical Note
Woosnam made a birdie on the sixth hole en route to a 66 in the second round of the 1991 Masters, which he won.
