    The tee shot on the closing par-5 18th. This is one place where long hitters can unleash the full measure of their power. Although a string of bunkers guards the right side of the driving zone, most players should have no trouble getting home in two…

    The 10th is a straightaway and uphill par-4. Everything is in view except for the wind which cuts into the fairway through a gap in the trees at the 200-yard mark. A sloping fairway kicks the ball right to left.

    The tee shot on the par-4 14th must not only carry Lake Merced and a stand of tall trees, but it must also draw left to avoid two large fairway bunkers. For many players, the approach will be made with a middle to short iron.

    The 15th is a short, straightaway hole that players will be able to drive very close to the green, however, position will mean everything depending on where the hole is cut. Players on the wrong side of the fairway may end up without a shot, or at least…

    The 17th is a full-sized, 230-yard, downhill par-3 that will demand the best from the game's greatest players. The green tends to be hard and difficult to hold. Another of Harding Park's grass bunkers will swallow any shot that is short on the left…
