Mike Sweeney,
Thanks for posting the aerial of # 5.
Unfortunately, the aerial doesn't capture the elevations and contouring that conspire, with the bunkering and right to left slope of the green, to make this ONE of the most brilliant, strategic holes in all of golf.
I did say ONE of, not THE.
# 18 at NGLA remains a favorite.
But, as par 4's go, # 5 at Newport is in elite company.
