In this episode, Derek dives into the famous uphill Par-4 3rd hole at Oakmont Country Club. From its original bunkerless design, to the expansion of it’s torturous Church Pews bunker, to remaining one of the most daunting and critical holes of U.S. Opens at Oakmont, Derek explores the fascinating history behind one of the game’s most iconic golf holes.
