Pictures of the new, par-3 8th hole at Olympic are on the cover of the current issue of LINKS Magazine and the U.S. Open Spectator Information Guide pamphlet. It is also the hole depicted on the official poster for this U.S. Open, with the hole viewed from behind the green looking back toward the tee.
It may or may not be a "better" hole than the old #8, but someone sure likes the look of it.
