East Lake #18

Brad,

You can add The Lakes in Sydney.
Norman won his first Australian Open here by holing a ten footer for par.
Elkington won the Open in 1992 and many more big tournaments have been well and truly decided by this hole.
Baddeley beat Garcia with a playoff birdie and Bernhard Langer once needed par to win,missed the green in the bunker,blasted out and then picked up his ball and threw it to his caddy to clean - all before he realized he had forgotten to mark it.Unbeleivable.

It may also the most often rebuilt par three - in the 40 years since Devlin/Von Hagge did the course Jack Newton has had a go followed by Peter Thomson and followed as we speak by us!

Mike,

The 17th hole at Medinah n°3 is a good choice too for the title

Sebastien,

Every time there is a tournament at Medinah there that hole seems to be different.
The Devlin hole lasted from 1969 the mid nineties I think - so that would make 4 different holes in about a dozen years.
Hopefully this is the end of it!

Brad - you should also note that both nines at Maketewah end with a par 3. Last time I played there, which was quite a while ago, one was a 3 iron and the other any where from a wedge to an 8 iron.

Tiger was asked in an interview his thoughts on a par-3 finish and he said he didn't care for it.  He thought a good finishing hole should test a player on more than just one shot.
