Dennis:
People rationalize the heck out of the tee shot on the 8th at Pebble. I'm still not convinced that a blind lay-up shot is any good at all. It's one of the best second shots in all of golf, but how you get to it is not a strong point.
At Riviera, the second shot is also the important one, but at least you can hit a full drive, even if you can't tell the correct line very well. And staying in the fairway really matters, with the kikuyu on the left and the trees on the right.
I know I have seen other tee shots like that on lesser courses, but for now the other examples escape me ...
