Let me add a little clarity to the 13th hole bunker at Governor's Club.
Some have pointed out how the hole plays, but let me add:
The hole is a short par 5 with a wall of grass in front, down to the deep bunker 22' deep. What isn't discussed is that below that bunker is a stream, and if the bunker wasn't there the ball landing short would come back down in the stream or at least within the hazard.
The bunker was installed WITHIN THE HAZARD, so if a player came up short, he would have the option of playing as a penalty stroke, like being in a water hazard, or testing his skills out of a deep bunker. As noted, the bunker is purposefully pitched upward to "help" a bunker shot get high enough. It isn't an easy shot, but it is definitely doable if you no how to play bunker shots.
Also, the bailout is over the green, as there is a fairway pad behind the green in a soft hollow, where a player could actually putt the ball back onto the green.
It is a real risk/reward hole. I remember early on, that a collegiate tournament was played there and the same player made 3/13/3 on the hole in the tournament. I call that interesting.
The main point I want to make, however, is that, just as Mr. Brauer suggested, there would be no discussion if the water hazard was in front of the green on a short par 5 with a bail out over the green. The bunker just adds an additional option to recover from a shot that just fell short of reaching the green.
Hopes this adds some clarity.
