I think the finish is quite neat. Really "par" for the two holes is arguably 8, but not as 4-4 more like 4.5-3.5, but it offers a pretty good chance of cumulative scores anywhere between 5 or 6 as high as 9 to 12 over the two holes.


Jamie:

I am a big admirer of the two holes and how they combine, but please don't overstate the case.  Has anyone in championship history ever done the two holes in a total of five strokes?
Luke Donald.  Yesterday.
In July I will be riding two stages of this year's Tour de France route for charity, including Mont Ventoux for the William Wates Memorial Trust (https://rideleloop.org/the-charity/) which supports underprivileged young people.

A bad outcome is a par.

There's no scorecard-wrecker outcome in play on eighteen as there is on nearly all of the other holes. My point is a sensible golfer in a 72-hole stroke-play tournament plays differently when he needs to minimize the chance of a scorecard wrecker than he does when only very, very good shots matter. I simply like getting that one sample of a free-wheeling attempt at eagle out of a 5-hour round. Is that too much to ask?  8)
Dustin Johnson may disagree.
