The prevailing wind is from right to left. At the driving distance are a series of bunkers running to the right. There's about a 20 yard gap between the first bunker and the OB fence.<br /><br />The conventional shot is to squeeze a drive between the bunker, and the rough to the right. When Hogan won the Open in 1953 he hit his drive in all four rounds to the left of the fairway bunker, bisecting the 20 yard gap between the bunker and the OB fence each time. He won the championship by 4 shots.<br /><br />When asked about why he adopted such a risky strategy, he is reported as saying the only risk was ending up in a divot mark he'd made in the previous rounds.<br /><br />The hole was renamed 'Hogan's Alley' in 2003.George1507https://www.blogger.com/profile/05724776044060229853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-42124926843253113472012-08-15T21:08:57.342-04:002012-08-15T21:08:57.342-04:00Great stories on Hogan...there are so many.Great stories on Hogan...there are so many.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12906371409304988959noreply@blogger.com
