Pictures: the fireway of the 2011 U.S. PGA Championship (2)

The U.S.PGA Championship, known as the "final glory," is the last men's Grand Slam this year. After Lee Jones' transformation, compared to 2001, the Atlanta Athletic Club's Mountain Course become more narrow, more long and the putting greens become faster and more difficult.


8. No. 8 is a par 4 with 467 yards , which is the best hole in this golf course, after the transformation makes it more difficult. Count from the last landing, bunkers are 307-357 yards away, around the corner of the dogleg right. The Best tee is away from the right bunker, on the left of fairway and shorten the second shot. Some holes of No. 8 hole are very difficult, it is better to use one more in the uphill time.


9. Before entering the last nine holes, 9 holes is a good scoring opportunities. It is a par 4 with 426 yards. The key is to ensure that the ball landed between the bunker. Greens are larger, so some holes are challenging. It is difficult in the front left position, because the green from front to back slide. When the green flag is on the right, this hole will increase by one to two pars.


10. The hole 10 is a par four with 442 yards. Originally it was 421 yards dogleg right, it will be 20 more yards when shotting from the last tee.  There are a pair of bunkers 260-310 yards away. The left of green are surrounded by bunkers. Players need to pay attention to this point, it is best to stop the ball in the front of hole.

11. The hole 11 has 457 yards. Dogleg left turn very anxious. So take a very accurate ball, it's easier to get the green at second shot. bunkers are 310 yards. But there will be a good landing point in the corner. Greens are long and narrow, bunkers located on the left of the green. This hole requires two wonderful shots to birdie.


12. The hole 10 is a par five with 551 yards long. 300 yards long wood will turn to left of dogleg. It is a great challenge for the location of the hole, the farthest one on the right is the most difficult one. Distance control is the key to catch birds and projective.
